Practice question

What is the primary danger when riding a motorcycle through a construction zone with grooved or milled asphalt (pavimento fresado o ranurado)?

Milled pavement destroys headlights
Grooves catch the motorcycle tires and cause lateral tracking wandering (squirming) that can panic an inexperienced rider; the rider must stay relaxed, maintain steady throttle, and avoid fighting the bars
Grooves increase fuel consumption by 100%
Milled asphalt is perfectly smooth

Answer: B — Grooves catch the motorcycle tires and cause lateral tracking wandering (squirming) that can panic an inexperienced rider; the rider must stay relaxed, maintain steady throttle, and avoid fighting the bars
