How can you improve your visibility to other road users at night?

• A. Turn off lights to save battery.
• B. Change lanes rapidly to be seen.
• C. Wear reflective gear and keep lights on; position yourself to be seen.
• D. Hide in blind spots.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is making yourself obvious to other road users at night. Wearing reflective gear helps you stand out in low light, especially when there’s limited contrast between you and the surroundings. Keeping your lights on ensures your vehicle is visible to others, and positioning yourself so you’re easy to spot means you’re less likely to be caught in someone’s blind side or shadow. This combination gives drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians enough time to see you, judge your speed, and react safely. Turning off lights reduces visibility and is dangerous. Rapid lane changes or weaving to be seen creates unpredictable movement that increases crash risk. Hiding in blind spots defeats the purpose of visibility entirely and makes you harder to notice.
