What best enhances daytime visibility of a rider?

• A. All-black gear
• B. Reflective strips
• C. Reflective sunglasses
• D. Loud exhaust

Answer: (B)

Daytime visibility relies on how clearly other drivers can notice you. Reflective strips on a rider’s gear catch and reflect light from vehicles and the environment, creating bright outlines that stand out against most backgrounds. This increased conspicuity helps others see you sooner, whether you’re in shade, at an intersection, or near other traffic. Wearing all-black gear reduces contrast and makes you harder to spot, and loud exhaust doesn’t make you more visible to other road users. Reflective sunglasses may help you see better, but they don’t make you more visible to others. So the reflective strips are the best choice for being noticed during the day.
