What should you avoid riding on to ensure safety?

Avoiding big build-ups of oil or grease is crucial for safety while riding a motorcycle. Oil and grease on the road surface create a slick layer that significantly reduces traction between the motorcycle tires and the road. When tires lose traction, it becomes much easier to lose control of the motorcycle, especially during turns or when braking. This can lead to dangerous situations, including skidding or even accidents.

While it's also important to be cautious on wet roads, gravel, and uneven pavement due to their potential to cause traction issues or handling difficulties, large accumulations of oil or grease pose an even greater immediate risk since they are often much harder to detect and can cause abrupt and severe loss of control. Understanding these hazards is critical for safe riding practices.
