To increase visibility while riding during the day, what is a recommended action?

Stay in the center lane
Use the lights of the car ahead of you
Avoid using headlights
Wear darker clothing

The correct answer is: Use the lights of the car ahead of you

Using the lights of the car ahead is a recommended action to increase visibility while riding during the day. When motorcyclists ride behind cars, especially in bright sunlight, they can take advantage of the vehicle's headlights to enhance their visibility to other drivers. The vehicle's lights can create a visual cue, making it easier for other motorists to notice the motorcycle. Additionally, the reflection and glare from the lights can help establish a presence on the road. In contrast, staying in the center lane may not significantly impact visibility to surrounding vehicles, as lane position alone does not guarantee that other drivers will see the motorcycle. Avoiding the use of headlights contradicts best practices for safety, as headlights are essential for visibility regardless of the time of day. Wearing darker clothing does not contribute to visibility; instead, bright or reflective clothing is encouraged to make riders more noticeable in various conditions.
