How can a rider increase their chances of being seen by other vehicles?

Wearing bright-colored clothing and using lights significantly enhances a rider's visibility on the road. Bright colors are more likely to stand out against various backgrounds and can catch the attention of other drivers, especially in conditions where visibility is less than ideal. Similarly, using lights, whether they are the motorcycle's headlights or additional auxiliary lights, ensures that a rider is noticeable to others, even in daylight. This practice not only helps to prevent accidents but also fosters a greater awareness of the motorcycle's presence among all road users.

In contrast, riding closely behind other vehicles can reduce visibility and may lead to dangerous situations if the leading vehicle suddenly stops or swerves. Driving only at night limits exposure to natural light and can increase the risk of accidents unless proper precautions are taken. Keeping a low profile, such as opting for muted colors and low lighting, does not aid in visibility and can make a rider more susceptible to being overlooked by other drivers. Using bright clothing and lights is a proactive approach to enhancing safety on the road.
