AMDifficulty 1/5

On a motorcycle, is abrupt braking over wet or slippery road markings advisable?

Correct answer

No; anticipate and use smooth inputs.

No. Painted surfaces may offer less grip, particularly when wet. Slow down in advance and use smooth inputs, avoiding abrupt movements and dangerous swerves to dodge paint. Not every marking is always very slippery, and necessary braking must not be omitted: respond to grip and the hazard.
