Bright, reflective colors should be worn:

Wearing bright, reflective colors at all times while riding enhances visibility and safety. This is crucial because motorcyclists are harder to see than larger vehicles, particularly in adverse weather conditions or when traffic is heavy. Bright colors help to increase the chances that other drivers will notice the motorcyclist well in advance, potentially preventing accidents.

Reflective materials significantly improve visibility when light sources, such as headlights or streetlights, hit them, making the rider stand out even in low-light situations or at night. Therefore, it is vital for riders to prioritize wearing these colors consistently, not just at specific times, to maximize their protection on the road regardless of the environment or time of day.
