Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Using high beams while riding in low visibility conditions is a recommended practice for enhancing safety. High beams cast a wider and brighter light, which can significantly improve the visibility of the motorcycle and the rider. This added illumination helps both to see the road ahead more clearly and to make it easier for other road users, such as cars and pedestrians, to see the motorcycle.

While wearing dark clothing might seem stealthy, it can contribute to a lack of visibility, making it harder for others to see the rider, especially in poor lighting conditions. Riding at normal speed may not take into account the hazards associated with low visibility, where slower speeds may actually be safer. Finally, while avoiding travel altogether could eliminate the risk, it is not always practical or possible. Therefore, keeping high beams on is a proactive measure that directly addresses the challenges presented by low visibility.
