When following a vehicle, you should try to ride where the driver can see you in the rearview mirror.

• A. Behind the vehicle
• B. In the driver's blind spot
• C. Where the driver can see you
• D. Very close to the bumper

Answer: (C)

Being visible to the driver is the key idea here. Since motorcycles are small, the driver may not notice you unless you’re in a spot where they can see you in their rearview mirrors. Riding in the driver’s line of sight gives them a chance to notice you and react, which lowers the risk of a sudden, unsafe maneuver. You want to avoid being behind the vehicle where you could disappear from view, in the driver’s blind spot where you’re least visible, or very close to the bumper where there’s little time to react if they brake or change lanes. Keep a safe following distance and position yourself so you remain easily seen in the mirrors.
