What should a rider wear to enhance visibility while riding?

Wearing brightly colored clothing and reflective gear significantly enhances a rider's visibility on the road. Bright colors like neon yellow, orange, or green stand out against natural backgrounds and are more easily seen by drivers during both day and night. Reflective gear, such as vests or stickers, improves visibility in low-light conditions, as it reflects headlights from vehicles, making the rider more noticeable. This is crucial for safety, as increased visibility can help prevent accidents by ensuring that other road users can see the motorcycle rider from a distance.

In contrast, dark clothing does not provide adequate visibility, blending into the environment, especially at night or in low-light situations. Leather jackets, while offering protection from abrasion during a fall, do not necessarily enhance visibility unless they are in bright colors with reflective elements. Similarly, denim jeans, while durable, offer neither the reflective features nor bright colors necessary to improve a rider’s visibility on the road.
