When riding a moped on a road whose surface is damaged or in poor condition, what precaution must be taken?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When the road surface is damaged, with potholes, cracks or irregularities, tire grip drops noticeably and the risk of losing stability increases. The preventive riding guideline requires slowing down, even stopping if essential, and guiding the moped along the straightest and most upright path possible. Keeping the moped upright maximizes the tire's contact area with the ground and prevents skids caused by leaning in areas without grip. Accelerating would dangerously increase the violence of the impact against the irregularities, and dismounting to push on foot is not required by any regulation.
