AMDifficulty 3/5

For safe motorcycle riding on a wet road, what should you do?

Correct answer

Moderate speed and brake smoothly and early.

Moderate speed, increase following distance and brake progressively earlier. Grip can decrease, especially on painted markings, metal or standing water. Avoid abrupt manoeuvres and adapt riding to conditions; this reduces risk but does not guarantee avoiding a fall. A wet road does not create an absolute ban on all overtaking.
