AMDifficulty 3/5

You are riding a moped and the first raindrops fall after a dry period. Which risk should you consider?

Correct answer

Grip can decrease as water mixes with dust and grease.

Water can mix with accumulated dust and grease and make the surface particularly slippery. Reduce speed, increase the safety margin and avoid abrupt braking or movements. The first drops do not mean riding is prohibited, but require extra caution.
