Heavy rain has caused large puddles to form on the road surface. What is the right course of action now?

Your answer is correct. When heavy rain causes large puddles on the road, it is important to drive slowly. This reduces the risk of hydroplaning, which happens when your tires lose contact with the road due to water, causing loss of control. Driving slowly also minimizes the spray of water, which can impair visibility for you and other drivers.

In contrast, driving quickly in such conditions is dangerous because it increases the chance of skidding and losing control. Elevating your feet on a motorbike is not a recommended action and does not improve safety or prevent getting wet.

So, the key rule here is to reduce speed and drive cautiously to maintain traction and avoid endangering yourself and others.
