What can be the consequence of your passenger (pillion passenger) on the motorbike not wearing conspicuous clothing?

Wearing conspicuous clothing while riding a motorbike is crucial for visibility and safety. If a passenger is not wearing bright or recognizable clothing, it can make them harder to see not only for traffic behind but also for vehicles ahead and oncoming traffic.

In Germany, ensuring that all riders and passengers are visible to other road users is part of the duty to ensure safety on public roads. A motorcycle passenger’s visibility can significantly impact the ability of drivers to make safe decisions, especially in situations like merges, lane changes, or turning at intersections where multiple traffic directions are involved.

By considering the combination of how the lack of conspicuous clothing affects recognition from all traffic perspectives, you adhere to the principle of promoting overall safety on the roads, which is a fundamental aspect of German traffic regulations.
