Correct answer
- AModerar la velocidad y estacionar en un lugar seguro.Reduce your speed and park in a safe place.
In torrential rain visibility and grip drop sharply, and a motorcyclist is especially vulnerable. The sensible thing is to reduce your speed and, if you cannot continue safely, stop in a safe place until the rain eases. Staying close behind the vehicle in front or using the main beam in town increases the danger.
