BDifficulty 3/5

If you are riding a motorcycle when it is raining heavily, what precautions must you take?

Correct answer

Travel at a moderate speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.

Reduce speed and increase separation. If continuing safely is impossible, stop in a safe, permitted place without abrupt braking or manoeuvres. Adapt braking to grip and vehicle instructions; rain can make road markings more slippery. Do not follow closely or use dazzling main beam.
