At the end of September in Strasbourg, the sun sets at 7:00 p.m. and we lose nearly 4 minutes a day. It's the time of year when we often say to ourselves:
It's already nighttime?
A majority of motorcyclists do not ride at night because it is too dangerous, but for those who have already done it, it must be said that it is a special experience. The calm and the ambient immobility give us the impression of being alone in the world at times.
Unfortunately, this is also what makes it dangerous. With the weather which begins to be capricious. The days are getting shorter quickly so you easily forget your own visibility, when you come home from work in the evening, for example. And we riders especially need to get noticed on the road.
Even when you are not driving on a dark night, the lack of visibility is already felt when there is less light, in the evening, when it is gray, when it is raining or simply in a tunnel.
These questions which are not necessarily a reflex, we will ask them for you:
Have you checked your headlights?
Are you visible at 360°?
Here you will find the method: How to easily make yourself more visible?
Simple, aesthetic and economical solutions exist that will make you visible from afar at night.
