1. Your lane position should:

Protect your lane from other drivers.

Allow you a nice view of scenery.

Place you in other drivers’ blind spots.

Hide your intentions from other drivers.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.

2. Studies show that when motorcycles have their headlights turned on during the day:

They are not as easy to see as other vehicles.

They are more visible to other drivers than when their headlights are turned off.

Other drivers are often confused.

They are less safe than when their headlights are turned off.

The best way to help other drivers see your motorcycle is to keep your headlight on whenever you ride. During the day, a motorcycle with its headlight on is twice as likely to be noticed.
