What should motorcyclists remember about their visibility to automobile drivers?

Motorcyclists should be particularly aware that they can be easily overlooked by automobile drivers due to several factors, including the smaller size of motorcycles compared to cars, and the fact that drivers often have a limited range of focus on the road. This underlines the importance of being proactive about visibility.

Riders should understand that even when their motorcycle seems to be in plain view, drivers may not be actively looking for them, leading to potential accidents. This means it's essential for motorcyclists to adopt practices that increase their visibility, such as wearing appropriate gear, using headlights at all times, and positioning themselves strategically on the road to make themselves more noticeable to surrounding traffic.

In contrast to some of the other choices, where being 'always visible' or 'more visible during the day' may imply a false sense of security, and the idea that wearing bright colors is the sole solution lacks the broader context needed for comprehensive safety awareness. Recognizing that they can be overlooked helps riders stay vigilant and adopt strategies to enhance their presence on the road.
