Correct answer
Keeping the motorcycle as upright as possible and travelling straight at a suitable speed.
Keep the motorcycle as upright as possible, travel straight at a suitable speed and avoid abrupt braking, acceleration or steering on the paint. Markings can be slippery, particularly when wet. Slow down before reaching them and obey their meaning: this advice does not permit crossing a continuous line or another marking that prohibits it. Nor does it require a dangerous change of course to obtain a particular crossing angle.
