Selecting a strategic lane position

The correct answer is: Selecting a strategic lane position

To increase your visibility to other drivers, selecting a strategic lane position is vital. This involves choosing a lane position that makes you more noticeable while also allowing for optimal sightlines and space around your motorcycle. By positioning yourself in a way that maximizes visibility—such as being in the left or right portion of your lane or slightly ahead of other vehicles—you can make it easier for drivers to see you. This strategic positioning helps you stand out in traffic and reduces the risk of being overlooked, which is especially important in busy or complex driving environments. Riding in the center of the lane may make you less noticeable to surrounding vehicles, especially if they are bigger, such as trucks or SUVs. Wearing dark clothing can reduce visibility—especially at night or in poor weather—making it harder for other drivers to see you. Frequently changing your speed can confuse drivers, but it doesn’t inherently improve your visibility. Awareness of lane positioning is key to ensuring that you remain visible and safe on the road.
