Correct answer
moderate your speed, and even stop if necessary.
Riding a motorcycle in heavy rain requires you to moderate your speed and, if necessary, even stop. The main reason is that heavy rain creates extremely slippery road conditions, which significantly increases the risk of losing control of the motorcycle and having an accident. Reducing speed allows for better tyre traction on the wet road surface and gives more time to react to unforeseen situations. In heavy rain, it is essential to maintain a speed appropriate to the conditions and be prepared to stop if visibility is very limited or if road conditions are extremely dangerous.
