Always try and wear something white, it doesn't have to be a jacket, maybe your helmet.

A bright orange reflective vest makes you more visible when riding, but most people won't wear it because it doesn't look "cool" enough for them.A white colored helmet is also a good attention getter, as is of course having your headlight on day and night. Defensive riding is critical though, pretend you are invisible to other drivers and you will make decisions that increase your safety accordingly.

Always scan your rearview mirrors when you slow or stop.

In the military we were required to wear reflective vest or belt. If you bike is capable get the headlight flasher accessory installed, during the day it flashes your headlight from 60% to 100% strength, I notice those bikes at a further distance then a normal headlight, and using spinning tail lights also draws more attention. Even with the most reflective, brightest colors and loudest pipes many people still refuse to see bikers, be sure to keep your eyes open all around you.use intelligent lighting headlamps 4 good visibility at night.

Wear something reflective instead of the matte black gear. Not necessarily a yellow vest, but most street clothing has reflective piping/patches on it.Move around in your lane so other drivers see motion instead of a mysteriously invisible lane that they'll turn into. Flash your brights at cars in the opposite turn lane to get their attention.
Can I filter during a motorbike test?
Don't sit in blind spots; if you can't see their face in their side mirrors, they can't see you (not that it's any indication that they'll look anyway).
Look ahead and judge the flow of traffic every second so you can swerve, brake or avoid something long before the cagers know what's going on. Act like a car and you'll be seen as a car; act like a gnat on the freeway and you'll end up on a windshield.
Follow the traffic rules when necessary, and don't go flying through heavy traffic because you're in a hurry. Cagers cannot judge your speed, especially if you're doing 80 in a 45, and will pull right out in front of you.
