Explanation: Riding in Cold Weather

In order to pass your motorcycle permit exams and to become a safe rider, it’s important to know why a particular answer on the motorcycle written test is correct. 

A big part of being able to operate a motorcycle safely has to do with your comfort level. 

If you are riding in cold weather and become numb or start shivering, controlling your motorcycle can be difficult. 

Long exposure to cold weather when riding your motorcycle can lead to severe chill and fatigue. That’s why it’s important to wear the right gear. 

Winter riding gear should protect you from injury in the event of a crash and:

  • Keep you warm and dry. 
  • Fit snugly. 
  • Allow you to control your motorcycle safely. 

If you have to ride in wet or raining conditions, a rainsuit can further help to keep you safe and dry. 

Good winter riding gear should resist tearing and should not balloon-up when riding. 

If you do need to ride in harsh conditions, be sure to plan for breaks before you get too tired or uncomfortable. 

You can find more information about this topic in the motorcycle rider’s handbook.
