When riding a motorbike, what makes you more visible to other road users?

The combination of wearing high-visibility clothing and clothing with retro-reflective details during hours of darkness significantly enhances your visibility to other road users. According to German traffic regulations, being visible is crucial for safety, especially on a motorbike where the risk of being overlooked is higher.

1. High-visibility clothing allows you to stand out during the day, making it easier for drivers to notice you, especially in challenging weather conditions.

2. Retro-reflective details on clothing are essential during nighttime or low-light situations. These details reflect light from headlights back towards the source, further increasing your visibility and making it easier for other road users to see you from a distance.

Driving with the main beam on can also enhance visibility when conditions require it, but it is not directly related to clothing. Therefore, focusing on all aspects of visibility is important for your safety on the road.
