Dress to Prevent Accidents
Home » Motorcycling » Motorcycle Jackets » Dress to Prevent AccidentsWearing gear that makes you comfortable and prevent fatigue by blocking wind and noise can help you ride more safely. However, there is an even more dramatic way of dressing to avoid accidents: wear bright colors. Accident causation studies have frequently noted that motorcyclists with light and bright-colored helmets and jackets are less likely to be involved in accidents. Other drivers should see you, but sometimes they don't try hard enough and sometimes the job is made difficult by glare or obstructions that obscure their view. A bright jacket also helps. The colors that seem to be most effective are orange, yellow, white, and red. Motorcyclists like the fact that dark colors don’t show dirt and perhaps contribute to the bad boy image, but bright colors are a simple, passive way of avoiding accidents.
