Show answer

Correct answer

  • AA las marcas viales que son muy resbaladizas.Road markings, which are very slippery.
Explanation

In the rain, the paint of road markings loses grip and becomes very slippery, which for a motorcycle means a risk of falling when braking or leaning over it. That is why it is best to avoid them, or ride over them with the motorcycle upright and without sudden manoeuvres.
