Sometimes when you're riding in heavy rain your tyres cannot displace the water fast enough. When this happens, water builds up between your tyres and the road - known as aquaplaning. What should you do to keep control when this happens?
If your motorcycle starts to aquaplane, ease off the throttle smoothly. Do not brake or turn the steering until tyre grip has been restored.
