14) Be aware of road conditions
Always be alert as to the condition of the road
and surrounding environment.
Watch out for potholes or debris on the road.
The scooter has small tires and can be adversely
affected by sudden changes in the road surface.
If the road is wet it can become slippery and you
will need to allow more distance ahead to brake
and slow down. Also any water that has been
splashed around the front brake disc can make
the brakes less effective.
Take extra care in the wet
when riding on or near
any
painted
road
markings as these can
become very slippery. If
possible remain upright
(avoid leaning) when
crossing over painted
lines to minimize the risk
of slipping sideways.
Take extra care crossing painted road markings
in the wet and avoid leaning if possible.
