Steel construction plates in the roadway require extra care because they:
- A.Are always marked with a speed increase
- B.Give more traction than dry pavement
- C.Cannot be crossed by motorcycles at all
- D.Can be very slippery, especially when wet, and may have raised edges
Correct answer
D. Can be very slippery, especially when wet, and may have raised edges
Why
Steel plates provide poor grip and their edges can upset the motorcycle. Slow down, cross as upright as possible, and avoid braking or turning on the plate itself.
