A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

2. Your lane position should:

Avoid other road users' blind spots.

Provide a good view of the shoulder.

Provide a poor view of road hazards.

A properly chosen lane position should help you to see others and be seen by them. Avoid riding in another driver's blind spot for a long period of time.

3. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Assume the motorcycle is as easy to see as other vehicles.

Assume other drivers can’t see you.

Not be concerned with taking steps to ensure that other drivers see you.
