One mistake I have seen new riders do is cross Texas gates too slow thinking they may lose control. The truth is if you cross them at a slow speed you are far more likely to take a spill than if you go over at 15- 20 mph.
I don't know if you call them Texas gates in the U.S. but that is what we call the cattle gates made of pipe or rail road rail with about a 4" inch space between the pieces. The cows won't cross but it allows traffic to flow through.

I live in North Texas.
You have to keep moving to go over the "Cattle Crossings".
When they are wet from rain make sure you are going at least 10 MPH.

those fool things get so slick when it rains (the metal ones, anyway) I will go a different way if at all possible when it's wet: the metal ones should be outlawed

Ya want the bike standing straight up and going as straight across as possible and rolling at it at just over ten, maybe twelve, then accelerate, just enough to take a few pounds off the front tire, scoot back on the seat.
Treat it like you'd treat a sandy stretch in a dirt road..
