How can you increase your line of sight when passing another vehicle?

To increase your line of sight when passing another vehicle, riding in the left position of the lane is the most effective choice. This positioning allows a motorcyclist to have a better view of the road ahead, as it typically places them further from the vehicle being passed and closer to the lane markings. By positioning yourself this way, you can see around the car more easily, making it possible to identify any potential hazards or oncoming traffic that might not be visible from a more central lane position.

Maintaining this left position also enhances visibility for other drivers, as they are more likely to see the motorcycle. This can help in reducing the chances of accidents during the overtaking maneuver, as both the motorcyclist and other road users can be more aware of each other's presence.

Meanwhile, riding within the center of the lane or other positions may limit visibility, while speeding up to push past quickly can be dangerous and could lead to loss of control or insufficient reaction time for unforeseen obstacles. Using the horn might alert others, but it does not enhance the line of sight needed for safe passing.
