5 Ways to Make Your Motorcycle More Visible

1/12/2020

​The most important thing to keep in mind when riding a motorcycle is safety. When you drive, you drive defensively. You look out for cars and other vehicles on the road in order to keep yourself safe. This is the reason why visibility is essential and critical to the safety of every driver. Here are five ways that you can make your motorcycle more visible, and hence, you can avoid accidents.
Use a Brightly Colored Motorcycle
The biggest challenge with motorcycles is that they’re much smaller and much faster than cars. This makes it difficult for car drivers to see motorcycles. Also, it's naturally hard for motorcycles to see cars because of distance and speed differences. However, the darker the color of your motorcycle, the more difficult it is to see you. Thus, a bright-colored motorcycle can give you better attention and visibility.

Wear High Visibility Safety Gear
The cheapest and best way to make sure you’re visible to other drivers on the road is to wear a high-visibility helmet or jacket. The preferred color is orange or yellow. The good thing is that, if you don’t want to be that highly visible sometimes, then you can simply change jackets. You don’t have to change motorcycles all the time.

Use Reflective Tape

Reflective tape is one thing that can increase your motorcycle’s visual footprint. You can put the pieces of the tape on the front of the forks. You can also put pieces on any part of your motorcycle that sticks out a great deal from the source of light. This can be the edges of your panniers or the top part of the tall windscreen. You can also apply the reflective tape on your wheel rims.

Get Away from Blind Spots
If you’re driving your motorcycle where no driver can see you even if they move their heads, then you’re relying too much on fate. Never hang out behind the four-door sedan’s b-pillar. If you can’t help getting into a blind spot, make your pass fast then get into a lane where you’re totally visible to all other cars on the road.

Tap Your Brakes
If you tap your brakes quickly, then your brake light turns rapidly into a giant blinker. This tells the driver behind you to be careful. If you tap your brakes, it will work for tailgaters to warn them about a bad road conditions ahead.

Some Final Words
The last way for you to get another driver's attention is your horn. A quick "beep, beep" warns the car or truck you're following to let you pass. However, if there's one thing that should give you more peace of mind than any of these tips, it should be a motorcycle insurance policy. Getting motorcycle insurance will save you so much trouble if ever you make a mistake, or a careless vehicle got in your way.

Thank you for mentioning that purchasing motorcycle insurance can spare you a lot of hassle if you ever make a mistake or a careless driver blocks your path. My sister bought a bike. I'm going to advise her to purchase motorcycle insurance.
