Practice question
When riding in rain, why should a motorcyclist avoid accelerating or braking over manhole covers (tapas de alcantarilla) and metal expansion joints (juntas de dilatación)?
- Because metal becomes magnetized and attracts the motorcycle frame
- Because wet smooth metal has virtually zero friction, causing sudden wheel spin, loss of traction, and low-side crashes
- Because it causes the spark plugs to short out
- Because metal surfaces heat the tires excessively
Answer: B — Because wet smooth metal has virtually zero friction, causing sudden wheel spin, loss of traction, and low-side crashes
