Correct answer
- BSí, porque aumenta la probabilidad de movimientos bruscos o caídas de los motoristas.Yes, because it makes sudden movements or falls by motorcyclists more likely.
Adverse weather, such as rain, wind or ice, significantly increases the risk of motorcycle accidents because these vehicles are naturally unstable. These factors can cause sudden movements and make control harder, so falls or accidents are more likely. According to the General Traffic Regulations, riders must be aware of these conditions and adapt their riding accordingly, using the right equipment, including a helmet and protective clothing, and adjusting their speed.
