Where should a moped rider position themselves in the lane for maximum visibility?

Positioning a moped rider in the center of the lane enhances visibility for both the rider and other road users. This position allows the rider to be seen more clearly by drivers in larger vehicles, who may have limited visibility of smaller vehicles along the edges of the lane. Being centered also provides better control and balance, reducing the risk of being overlooked by cars merging or changing lanes.

Additionally, riding in the center of the lane creates a buffer zone against debris or potential hazards that may accumulate near the edges, such as potholes or loose gravel. This central positioning also discourages drivers from attempting to share the lane too closely, which can be particularly crucial in maintaining safety in high-traffic areas.

The other options do not provide the same level of visibility and safety, as hugging the edges of the lane can lead to missed visibility and increased vulnerability to traffic.
