Question 8132

If you are riding your motorcycle through an especially slippery area, what precautions must you take?

  1. Accelerate to get through the slippery area in the shortest possible time.
  2. Reduce your speed and keep the motorcycle upright.
  3. Brake in the slippery area to better control your path of travel.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduce your speed and keep the motorcycle upright.

Slow down before the slippery area and ride through it with the motorcycle upright, without accelerating, braking, or steering abruptly. Braking on the slippery surface or accelerating to get through sooner can make a wheel lose grip and cause you to fall.
