Practice question
Why do painted road markings (e.g., pedestrian zebra crossings, lane dividing lines, and turn arrows) present a major hazard to motorcyclists in the rain?
- Road paint emits magnetic waves that disrupt the motorcycle's ABS wheel speed sensors
- Painted lines soften in rain and adhere like glue to motorcycle tires, stopping the wheels from turning
- Thermoplastic road paints lack porosity, creating a micro-layer of standing water that dramatically reduces tire friction compared to rough asphalt
- Reflective paint causes motorcycle tires to expand and over-pressurize
Answer: C — Thermoplastic road paints lack porosity, creating a micro-layer of standing water that dramatically reduces tire friction compared to rough asphalt
