Practice question

Why should motorcycle riders wear abrasion-resistant pants (pantalones de moto con protecciones) rather than standard denim jeans?

Denim jeans are waterproof
Standard denim tears through in less than 0.5 seconds of sliding on asphalt at 50 km/h, whereas certified motorcycle pants (leather or Cordura with Kevlar) withstand multi-second slides and feature impact armor at hips and knees
Jeans are too warm in winter
Jeans damage motorcycle paint

Answer: B — Standard denim tears through in less than 0.5 seconds of sliding on asphalt at 50 km/h, whereas certified motorcycle pants (leather or Cordura with Kevlar) withstand multi-second slides and feature impact armor at hips and knees
