Practice question
Why are painted road markings (pasos de cebra, flechas viales) and metal manhole covers (tapas de alcantarilla) particularly dangerous for motorcyclists in wet weather?
- They emit magnetic fields that stall the engine
- When wet, paint and smooth steel have near-zero friction, causing instant tire slip if a rider brakes, accelerates, or leans over them
- They cause tire rubber to dissolve chemically
- They reflect sunlight and blind the motorcycle battery
Answer: B — When wet, paint and smooth steel have near-zero friction, causing instant tire slip if a rider brakes, accelerates, or leans over them
