What is the best position for traction in the rain according to safe riding practices?

  1. Follow the middle of the road

  2. Ride on the painted lines for better grip

  3. Stay in the tire tracks left by other drivers

  4. Take different paths to create your own track

The correct answer is: Stay in the tire tracks left by other drivers

In the rain, staying in the tire tracks left by other drivers is the best position for traction according to safe riding practices. This is because the tire tracks typically have less water accumulation due to the tires of other vehicles displacing the water, which can help reduce the risk of hydroplaning and provide better traction for your motorcycle. Riding on the painted lines (option B) can actually be more slippery in wet conditions, as the paint can become slick when wet. Following the middle of the road (option A) is not recommended as it can be more hazardous, especially during rainy weather when oil residue on the road can rise to the surface, making it slick. Taking different paths to create your own track (option D) is also not advisable, as it can lead to unpredictable road conditions and increase the likelihood of losing traction.
