Driving on Slippery Surfaces
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
-
Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
-
Slow down when entering slippery areas.
-
Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
-
Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.
