What increases your chances of being seen while riding a motorcycle?

Riding alongside other vehicles increases your chances of being seen while riding a motorcycle because it places you within the line of sight of drivers in vehicles. When you are close to other vehicles, especially in traffic, your visibility is enhanced as you are more likely to be noted by other motorists who are accustomed to scanning their surroundings for multiple vehicles. This proximity can alert drivers to your presence and improve the likelihood that they will notice you.

While riding in a mini-lane may limit your visibility and in construction zones there may be additional hazards and decreased visibility due to barriers or equipment, positioning yourself in the left lane can also enhance visibility in certain situations but can lead to more blind spot issues. Riding alongside other vehicles effectively uses the presence of those vehicles as a backdrop, making it easier for other drivers to perceive the motorcycle in their visual field.
