What is the danger of riding a motorcycle on a wet roadway?
- Motorcycle skidding and roll-over, the lower the speed is.
- The penetration of water into the engine, which creates rust.
- Correct answer: Motorcycle skidding and roll-over, the greater the speed is.
- Motorcycle roll-over if the driver presses the clutch handle abruptly.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Motorcycle skidding and roll-over, the greater the speed is.
A wet roadway reduces the grip between the tyres and the road, and a motorcycle has only two wheels with a small contact area. The higher the speed, the more grip is needed for braking and turning, so the danger of skidding and roll-over grows. Therefore, on a wet road you slow down, increase the safety distance from the vehicle ahead, and avoid sudden braking and sharp leaning of the motorcycle.
