Rock the Roads with MSF Rider’s Course Test 2026 – Rev Up and Ride Safe!

When riding over crack sealant or tar strips, it is important to be cautious of avoiding too much lean. These types of surfaces can be slippery and reduce the traction between your tires and the road. By avoiding excessive leaning, you can maintain better control of your motorcycle and reduce the risk of sliding out or losing balance. This caution is necessary to ensure your safety and stability while riding over these potentially hazardous road conditions.

Regarding the other options:

A. Increasing your speed can increase the likelihood of losing traction on slippery surfaces, so it is not advised when riding over crack sealant or tar strips.

B. Applying sudden brakes on slippery surfaces can also lead to loss of control and potentially cause your motorcycle to slide or skid.

C. Avoiding any lean completely may not be practical or safe when navigating curves or corners, so it is important to maintain controlled and appropriate leaning angles while riding.
