Correct answer

  • AModerar la velocidad, e incluso detenerse si fuera necesario.Reduce speed, and even stop if necessary.
Explanation

In heavy rain a motorcycle's grip and visibility are drastically reduced: reduce speed and, if the situation requires it, stop in a safe place. Riding close to heavy vehicles or speeding up greatly increases the risk.
