Why should motorcycle gloves be full-fingered and made of leather or a sturdy abrasion-resistant material?
- A.So you can ride without holding the handgrips
- B.To improve your sense of style only
- C.To keep your hands warm in winter only
- D.To protect your hands and maintain a firm grip on the controls
Correct answer
D. To protect your hands and maintain a firm grip on the controls
Why
Full-fingered gloves protect the skin in a fall, improve grip on the handgrips, and shield hands from wind, debris, and fatigue. Bare hands are easily injured and can lose grip in wet or cold conditions.
