A1Difficulty 3/5

You are riding your motorcycle on a road covered with water. Is there a danger of aquaplaning occurring?

Correct answer

Yes, especially if I am travelling at high speed.

Yes, it can occur on motorcycles too, especially at high speed with accumulated water. If the tyre cannot disperse enough water, effective contact with the surface and control can be lost. Tyre damage is not required: good condition does not remove all risk. Reduce speed before flooded areas and avoid abrupt manoeuvres; do not continue if you cannot cross safely.
