conditions, apply your brakes earlier and more
gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions.
Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking, and
take corners with additional caution. Keep in mind that
there is a direct, but inverse, relationship between
speed and controllability.
Be more visible on the road. Wear reflective clothing
and use safety lights.
Potholes and slippery surfaces such as lane markings
and train tracks all become more hazardous when wet.
Night Riding
A rider is very difficult for motorists to see at dusk, at
night, or at other times of poor visibility. If you must ride
under these conditions, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding; follow the Rules of
the Road, and take the following precautions:
Make sure that your EW-36/EW-66 is equipped with
correctly positioned and securely mounted reflectors.
Make sure your clothing or cargo does not obstruct a
reflector or light. Ensure that the front lights are on.
Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories,
any reflective device or light source that moves will help
you get the attention of approaching motorists,
pedestrians and other traffic.
Ride slowly. Avoid hazards, such as potholes and curbs.
Avoid areas of heavy traffic, dark areas, and roads with
speed limit over 35 mph. If possible, ride on routes
already familiar to you.
