What should motorcyclists do to prevent being in a driver's blind spot?

Maintaining visibility is crucial for motorcyclists to prevent being in a driver's blind spot. A driver's blind spot is the area around the vehicle that cannot be seen through the mirrors, making it especially dangerous for motorcyclists who are smaller and less visible than larger vehicles. By riding in a manner that ensures visibility, motorcyclists can position themselves in the lane where they can be seen by other drivers. This might involve adjusting their position within the lane to avoid areas where they are less visible or even changing lanes when it’s safe to do so.

Riding at high speeds can actually decrease a motorcyclist's ability to react to potential hazards and does not address the visibility issue. Keeping a constant distance, while possibly helpful in some scenarios, doesn't inherently ensure that the motorcyclist is visible. Constantly signaling can alert other drivers, but it does not eliminate the risk of being in a blind spot. The key is to actively position oneself where visibility is maximized, thus reducing the chances of an accident.
