Correct answer
With a stable path and the bike as upright as possible, avoiding abrupt control inputs.
Use a stable path and keep the motorcycle as upright as possible, without harsh acceleration, braking or steering on the paint. Markings can provide less grip, particularly when wet. Adjust speed beforehand and use smooth controls. Do not swerve or leave your lane to avoid a marking. Obey its meaning: this advice does not authorise crossing a solid line or disregarding a pedestrian crossing.
