How would you drive a motorcycle on a rough non-urban road?
- Correct answer: Drive slower because there is a risk of losing control.
- Drive faster to minimize your stay-time on the rough section.
- Continue driving at the same speed but avoid overtaking.
- If the motorcycle’s tires are new you can continue driving safely at the same speed.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Drive slower because there is a risk of losing control.
Rough roads have potholes, cracks and loose stones that can bounce the motorcycle and reduce tyre grip. Slowing down gives you better control of steering and braking. Going faster only increases the danger, and new tyres do not prevent the bouncing or the loss of grip caused by the damaged surface.
