Which action increases your visibility to other vehicles while riding?

Riding at high speeds
Wearing proper clothing
Keeping your head down
Using hand signals

The correct answer is: Wearing proper clothing

Wearing proper clothing enhances visibility to other vehicles while riding because it typically involves the use of bright colors and reflective materials that stand out against various backgrounds. High-visibility gear, such as jackets, vests, and helmets, helps ensure that motorcyclists are more noticeable to other drivers, especially in low-light conditions or adverse weather. This visibility is crucial for safety, as it allows other road users to recognize the presence of a motorcycle, reducing the chances of accidents caused by drivers failing to see riders. While using hand signals is also important for communication on the road, it doesn't necessarily improve overall visibility like wearing the right clothing does. Additionally, riding at high speeds can actually decrease reaction time for both the rider and other drivers, while keeping your head down may limit your field of vision and awareness of your surroundings.
