20. If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, you should:

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Tighten your hold on the handle grips and increase your speed to get past the hazard.

Travel in a zigzag motion.

Ride on the shoulder instead of on the grooves.

The weaving motion that occurs when a motorcycle rides over rain grooves or bridge gratings is generally not dangerous.

Trying to compensate for the weaving motion by zigzagging is more dangerous than riding straight.
