What measure must the rider of a moped take in order to ride more safely when it rains?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When it rains, the asphalt is more slippery and the braking distance increases notably compared with a dry road surface. That is why, when riding a moped, the right thing to do is to increase the safety distance from the vehicle in front, which gives more time to react to any unexpected event. Turning off the lighting is a very dangerous mistake: in heavy rain, or rain that significantly reduces visibility, it is mandatory to have the lighting on (General Traffic Regulations, Article 106(1)), and in any case it is advisable to see and be seen. Braking hard and continuously is also a serious mistake: on a two-wheeled vehicle, on wet ground it causes the wheels to lock, skids and falls, and it does not serve to clear the water from the tires.
