Practice question

When riding over a painted road surface such as a zebra crossing or painted median in wet weather, how should a motorcycle rider adjust their approach?

  1. Accelerate slightly to maintain traction through the slippery section
  2. Lean the motorcycle aggressively to avoid the painted area completely
  3. Reduce speed, avoid braking sharply on the painted surface, and ride as upright as possible
  4. No adjustment is needed — painted surfaces have the same grip as regular asphalt in all conditions

Answer: C — Reduce speed, avoid braking sharply on the painted surface, and ride as upright as possible
