How should you ride across railroad tracks or metal plates that cross your path at an angle?
- A.Cross as straight-on as safely possible rather than at a sharp angle
- B.Speed up and lean sharply while crossing
- C.Brake hard while on the metal surface
- D.Ride along the groove beside the rail
Correct answer
A. Cross as straight-on as safely possible rather than at a sharp angle
Why
Angled rails and metal edges can catch a tire, so cross them as straight-on as traffic and safety allow. Keep inputs smooth while crossing slippery metal surfaces.
