Show answer

Correct answer

  • BSí; es más probable que el motorista se caiga si hace movimientos bruscos.Yes; the rider is more likely to fall if they make sudden movements.

A motorcycle stands on only two wheels. In rain, wind or ice, grip and stability are reduced, and any sudden movement (braking, turning or accelerating sharply) makes it easier to lose control and fall.
