When riding in the rain, what should a motorcyclist do to enhance traction?

Use sudden braking to avoid slipping
Ride as fast as possible to create heat in the tires
Lean the motorcycle sharper into turns
Reduce speed and avoid sudden maneuvers

The correct answer is: Reduce speed and avoid sudden maneuvers

When riding in the rain, reducing speed and avoiding sudden maneuvers is crucial to enhancing traction. Wet roads significantly decrease tire grip, making it easier for a motorcycle to skid or slip. By reducing speed, a motorcyclist allows more time to react to any potential hazards and reduces the chance of losing control due to hydroplaning. Additionally, avoiding sudden maneuvers such as quick acceleration, braking, or sharp turns helps maintain stability on wet surfaces. This cautious approach allows the tires to maintain better contact with the road, ultimately improving traction and overall safety while riding in rainy conditions.
