How can a motorcycle rider improve visibility to other drivers?

Wearing bright or reflective clothing and ensuring lights are operational significantly enhances a motorcycle rider's visibility to other drivers. Bright and reflective clothing stands out against various backgrounds and lighting conditions, making it easier for other road users to see the rider from a distance. Similarly, having operational lights, including headlights and brake lights, increases the motorcycle's presence on the road, particularly in low-light conditions or during adverse weather. These measures are crucial for safety, as they allow other drivers to better gauge the rider's position and movements, potentially reducing the risk of collisions.

Other options, such as riding in the center lane and using a louder exhaust, do not guarantee improved visibility. The choice to avoid highway roads limits a rider’s access to routes where the highway might actually provide safer conditions for motorcycles, while the use of a louder exhaust tends to increase a rider's audibility rather than visibility, which is not a substitute for being seen.
