In which portion of the lane should you position yourself to maximize visibility?

• A. The side of the lane farthest from traffic.
• B. The lane position where you are most likely to be seen.
• C. The middle of the lane.
• D. Near the curb.

Answer: (B)

Maximize visibility by choosing the lane position that makes you easiest for other drivers to see. When you ride in the spot in your lane where your motorcycle is most likely to catch a driver’s eye, you’re giving those drivers the opportunity to notice you early and adjust—reducing the chance of a close call or collision. Being in a highly visible position also keeps you within the drivers’ normal line of sight, rather than tucked into a blind spot near the curb or far from traffic where you could blend in with surroundings. In short, place yourself where you’re most conspicuous to other road users, so they can see you and react accordingly.
