1. If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, you should:

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Tighten your hold on the handle grips and increase your speed to get past the hazard.

Travel in a zigzag motion.

Ride on the shoulder instead of on the grooves.

The weaving motion that occurs when a motorcycle rides over rain grooves or bridge gratings is generally not dangerous. If you experience weaving when riding over one of these surfaces, simply relax and proceed straight across the grooves or gratings at a steady speed. Trying to compensate for the weaving motion by zigzagging is more dangerous than riding straight.

Traveling faster than they actually are.

Traveling more slowly than they actually are.

6. Engine braking:

Should not be done because it damages the engine.

Is similar to using the brakes.

Makes a loud noise.

Is not reliable.

Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to that of using the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

7. As the motorcycle’s weight moves forward while braking, you:

Can apply the front brake harder.

Should lessen the amount of pressure on the front brake.

Can apply the rear brake harder.
