Question 8115
Can bad weather conditions, such as rain, wind, or ice, affect motorcycle accidents?
- Yes; the rider is more likely to fall if they make sudden movements.
- Yes, but only if the rider is not wearing the proper equipment.
- No; bad weather does not affect motorcycle riding.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes; the rider is more likely to fall if they make sudden movements.
Yes. On a motorcycle, rain and ice reduce grip and wind can push you sideways, so one sudden movement can make you fall. That is why you accelerate, brake, and steer gently. Good gear protects you if you fall, but it does not prevent a fall.
