How can a moped operator increase their visibility on the road?

Using headlights and wearing bright clothing is key to increasing visibility on the road for a moped operator. When a rider uses their headlights, especially during low-light conditions or inclement weather, it helps other drivers see them from a distance, reducing the risk of accidents. This practice is essential during dawn, dusk, or nighttime, as well as in situations with poor visibility such as fog or rain.

Wearing bright clothing further enhances visibility during the day by making the operator stand out against various backgrounds. Bright colors such as fluorescent yellow or orange are particularly effective in catching the attention of motorists. Together, the use of headlights and bright clothing significantly improves safety by making moped operators more noticeable to other road users, fostering a greater awareness of their presence on the road.

In contrast, wearing dark clothing does not provide visibility; riding in the center of the lane may not necessarily improve visibility and can affect the safe distance from other vehicles; and avoiding rain does not contribute to visibility directly, since visibility is still an important factor regardless of weather conditions.
