On a wet or slippery surface, you should:
- A.Use only the front brake to stop faster
- B.Reduce speed, increase following distance, and make all inputs smoother
- C.Lean more aggressively in turns
- D.Ride in the center of pooled water
Correct answer
B. Reduce speed, increase following distance, and make all inputs smoother
Why
Wet and slippery surfaces reduce traction, so slow down, leave more following distance, and brake, steer, and accelerate more gently. Smooth inputs help the tires keep their grip.
