Driving Safely
Driving on Slippery Surfaces
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose
gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and
avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
3. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the
direction of the skid and shifting your body weight
forward.
WARNING
Failure to exercise care when operating on slippery surfaces can result in loss of tire
traction and cause loss of control, accident, and serious injury or death.
Never apply the brakes during a skid. Do not operate on excessively slippery
surfaces. Always reduce speed and use additional caution, especially when
downshifting.
