to See

looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see
you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your hom
when it will help others notice you.

conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue. and
inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good
judgments and
ride
