JAKARTA - Entering the rainy season, motorcyclists need to pay attention to several things, especially in terms of braking techniques so that motorbikes remain under control and do not slip on wet roads.

According to Muhamad Arief, the Yamaha Riding Academy instructor PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM), during the rainy season and roads become wet, wheel traffic or tires will automatically decrease.

"So drivers can control speed to make it safer, when rainy conditions require longer distance when braking, different from roads that are not wet," he said, when contacted by VOI.ID, Monday, November 27.

Well, here are some important tips to overcome the challenges of driving in the rainy season.

1. Speed Control for Safety When the road is wet, wheel traffic or motor tires are automatically reduced. To maintain security, motorists are advised to control speed. In rainy conditions, longer braking distance is needed compared to dry road conditions. This is important to avoid accidents that may occur.

2. Avoid Suddenly braking Muhammad Arief emphasized the importance of avoiding sudden braking or hard braking during the rainy season. Sudden braking can cause tires to slip, increasing the risk of accidents. On the other hand, it is recommended to make fine braking so that the vehicle remains under control.

3. Beware of braking When Bending While driving on a wet road and doing bends, it's best to avoid braking. braking when riding on a wet road can increase the risk of losing control. If braking is necessary, do it in a subtle way so that you can still control the bike properly.

"If you are holding it, it is recommended that if you can do no braking or closing the gas, if you have to be able to brake in a smooth way," he explained.

4. Pay attention to the Distance with Vehicles in Front of Penting to always pay attention to the distance with the vehicle ahead. This allows a timely reaction to changing conditions on the road. Smooth braking and maintaining a safe distance can reduce the risk of accidents.

Well, by applying the right braking technique, motorcyclists can travel safely and comfortably, even though the rainy season makes the road slippery. Remember to always be careful and prioritize safety when driving in unfriendly weather conditions.
