Motorcycle Night Driving<\/strong><\/h6>\n
    \n
  1. Check the motorcycle lights:<\/strong>\u00a0Many times we get confused and do not realize that the lights of our motorcycle do not work or do so improperly.\u00a0Position, low and long lights must work and be properly leveled.\u00a0Let’s not forget the turn signals, the brake light, and the license plate.<\/li>\n
  2. No to smoked visors: Smoked<\/strong>\u00a0visors, provided they are approved, are very useful to protect you from reflections and the incidence of the sun.\u00a0However, when night comes, it prevents us from seeing clearly and is very dangerous.\u00a0In addition, you can be fined.\u00a0It is better to use a fully transparent screen.<\/li>\n
  3. Reflective or light-colored equipment:<\/strong>\u00a0The motorcycle itself is difficult to be perceived by other vehicles.\u00a0If normally it is already advisable to use light-colored equipment, even more, if we circulate at night or in conditions of low visibility. In the market, there are helmets, vests, and clothes with reflective colors, without a doubt the best option to be seen on the road.<\/li>\n
  4. Increase safety distances:<\/strong>\u00a0Low visibility can cause unexpected reaction times (braking, lane changes …) to be longer.\u00a0Therefore, increase your safety distance with the vehicle in front.<\/li>\n
  5. Reference paint and<\/strong> road<\/a><\/span> beacons:<\/strong> The darkness itself or even the glare from the headlights of the vehicles that come from the front makes us often not see the road asphalt.\u00a0A good practice is to look at the line of paint that delimits the lane of the road or the beacons of the right margin so as not to lose the references.<\/li>\n
  6. Increase the frequency of your stops:<\/strong>\u00a0At night, the body tends to relax more easily and, therefore, fatigue and drowsiness may appear more quickly.\u00a0Rest what is necessary and shorten the times between your stops.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
