At Malchow Johnson Injury Lawyers, we care about the safety of everyone on the road. Riding a motorcycle in the rain can be risky. Roads get slick, and it becomes harder to see. But with the right steps, riders can stay safer even when the weather turns bad.
They made everything easy for me! Even when I lost faith in the car accident where a drunk driver hit me, they helped me through every process. They were quick as they could be and made everything easier for me while being in the process of my move to Japan for the Navy, full time student, and planning my own wedding. I appreciated the help. Thank you!”

I had the pleasure of allowing Mr. Leland Malchow to represent my case and I would recommend 10star rating if possible. Not only was Mr. Leland very professional and knowledgeable, he also took the time to listen to my frustrations about my situation. He offered a listening ear, as well as some kind motivational advice. Our relationship has been through business only but I would extend a hand to him and the law firm from here on out. Thank you all and God Bless."

Slow Down and Take Your Time
Wet roads are slippery. That makes it easier to lose control of a motorcycle. When the rain starts, we recommend slowing down. It’s not just about how fast you ride—it’s also how quickly you stop or turn. Sudden moves can cause a skid. A little extra time could help you avoid an accident.
Wear the Right Gear
Staying dry helps you stay focused. A waterproof jacket, pants, and gloves can make a big difference. Bright colors and reflective strips help drivers see you better in the rain. A full-face helmet with a clear face shield helps keep water and fog away from your eyes.
Watch the Road
Rain can wash oil and dirt to the surface. That makes the road more slippery, especially in the first 30 minutes after it starts raining. Be extra careful at stop signs, traffic lights, and curves. Look out for puddles too. Some are deeper than they look and can hide potholes.

Use Both Brakes Gently
Braking in the rain takes a soft touch. Try to use both the front and back brakes gently. If you squeeze too hard, your tires can slide. It’s a good idea to keep more space between you and other cars so you have more time to stop.
Stay Visible
Cars have a hard time seeing motorcycles even in good weather. Rain makes it even harder. Use your headlights, wear bright or reflective clothing, and don’t ride in blind spots. The more drivers can see you, the safer you’ll be.
