BDifficulty 2/5

If you are riding your motorcycle in heavy rain, is there a danger of "aquaplaning" occurring?

Correct answer

Yes, especially when travelling at high speed.

Yes. It can also affect a motorcycle when the tyres cannot displace enough water and lose contact with the road surface. Speed, water depth, tread and tyre pressure influence the risk. Worn tyres are not a necessary condition. Reduce speed before puddles, avoid abrupt manoeuvres and maintain tyres according to manufacturer instructions.
