LAB-349-Importance of Motorcycle Lighting | New Ciro Products

In this episode, we discuss the importance of motorcycle lighting and being seen. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists who are conspicuous are under-represented in crashes. A common complaint of street riders is that other motorists fail to observe them. Motorists who violate motorcyclists' right-of-way frequently state, "I didn't see him," or "He came out of nowhere". A variety of recognized tactics exists to make motorcycles and their riders more conspicuous: lighting, surface color and size, and rider traffic strategy. Using the high beam of a motorcycle's headlight during the day also helps to prevent violations of the motorcyclist's right-of-way, SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Headlight modulators, which cause the light to alternate between a higher and a lower intensity during the day, also increase conspicuity. Many modern street bikes are equipped with position running lamps in their front and/or rear turn signals. This may help other motorists to identify the vehicle as a motorcycle and to better judge its distance and speed. Few motorcycles have more than single-point rear lighting, though multiple lights at the rear would seem to offer similar benefits and also provide redundancy for the single taillight.
