Before changing lanes, what critical factor must a motorcyclist keep in mind?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that at certain speeds and distances, other drivers may not perceive the motorcycle well. Because of its smaller frontal size (narrow silhouette), it is difficult for the human eye to judge the approach speed and the distance of a motorcycle. Common mistakes to avoid: The indicator does NOT give priority: Signaling is required in order to warn others, but it never grants the right of way over vehicles already traveling in the lane you intend to move into. Lights are not a total guarantee: Although riding with the lights on is mandatory and improves safety, it does not guarantee that other drivers will see you, especially in their blind spots or at complex intersections.
