Is it safe to brake on road markings painted on the carriageway?

Correct answer

No, because they are very slippery, especially in rain.

When we have to ride a two-wheeled vehicle over a road marking painted on the carriageway, we should avoid driving over the paint wherever possible because it is very slippery, especially after rain when the carriageway is wet. Our wheels could skid if we do not brake properly, thereby increasing the stopping distance.
