Safety Tip from Throttle - Avoid steel

Steel plates are often used as temporary patches in streets. They can be very slick, especially when wet. If you can, avoid them. If you can’t avoid them, don’t panic. Provide gentle changes to the controls. Avoid any quick stops, acceleration, or quick direction changes.

For questions, comments, or suggestions on safety tips please contact Rob 'Throttle' Capozzi.
