Daylight riding
Make yourself as visible as possible from the side, as well as the front and rear.
Wear a white helmet and fluorescent clothing or strips.
Use dipped headlights. Even in good daylight, they may make you more
visible.
Night-time riding
Wear reflective clothing or strips to improve your chance of being seen in the dark. These reflect light from the headlamps of other vehicles, making you more visible from a long distance.
Lights
You must have on your motorcycle or moped:
- a white or yellow head lamp;
a red rear lamp; a red rear reflector; and a number plate light on the back.
To be seen at all times, bear the points below in mind:
- Use your dipped headlights at all times.
Use headlights at night and during the day when visibility is seriously reduced.
Slow down, and if necessary stop, if you are dazzled by oncoming
headlights.
Use full headlights when appropriate to do so.
Use your hazard warning lights when your motorcycle or moped is
stopped in a dangerous place.
Make sure all sidelights and rear number plate lights are lit at night.
