What should you do to increase your visibility while riding?

Keeping your headlight on at all times is a crucial practice for increasing visibility while riding a motorcycle. Motorcycles can be less visible than larger vehicles, especially in low-light conditions or adverse weather. Activating the headlight helps other drivers see you more clearly, both during the day and at night. This practice is particularly important because many drivers may not expect to see motorcycles on the road, and having your headlight on can make you more conspicuous.

Using reflective clothing and riding in the center of the lane can enhance visibility but are often more situational or dependent on other factors. Wearing reflective clothing is particularly effective in low-light conditions, but it relies on the presence of a light source to reflect against. Similarly, riding in the center of the lane can be helpful for positioning but doesn't actively increase visibility in the same way that having your headlight illuminated does. Continuously using turn signals can indicate your movements to other drivers, but it doesn’t address the broader visibility issue when you’re at a standstill or not in motion. Therefore, keeping your headlight on at all times is a straightforward and effective way to improve your visibility on the road.
