DAYLIGHT RIDING : BE SEEN , STAY SAFE
ENHANCING VISIBILITY
DEFENSIVE AWARENESS AT JUNCTIONS
WEAR HIGH - VISIBILITY HEADGEAR
Choosing a light or brightly coloured helmet makes a rider significantly more noticeable to surrounding traffic .
VISIBILITY DOES NOT EQUAL CERTAINTY: Despite taking all precautions , other drivers may still fall to see you or correctly judge your distance .
UTILIZE FLUORESCENT CLOTHING
Wearing fluorescent clothing or reflective strips ensures visibility from the front , rear , and sides .
MISJUDGMENT OF SPEED
Drivers often struggle to accurately estimate how fast a rider is traveling , which can lead to dangerous pulling- out maneuvers .
USE DIPPED HEADLIGHTS: Keeping dipped headlights on , even in bright daylight conditions , helps the vehicle stand out to other drivers .
EXERCISE CAUTION AT JUNCTIONS: Junctions are high - risk areas where the failure of other drivers to see or judge riders is most common .
