How does road-marking paint affect the motorcycle?
- Correct answer: The paint might be smoother than the roadway itself and might cause skidding.
- The motorcycle tires spoil the roadway-marking paint.
- The white color on the roadway might blind and mislead the motorcyclist.
- The paint significantly impairs the life span of the motorcycle’s tires.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The paint might be smoother than the roadway itself and might cause skidding.
Road-marking paint, such as lines and crosswalks, can be smoother than the surrounding asphalt, especially when wet. A motorcycle has only two wheels and a small tyre contact patch, so reduced grip can quickly lead to a skid. Avoid hard braking, sharp acceleration and deep leaning while riding over painted markings.
