A1Difficulty 3/5

In addition to using the required lighting, how should a motorcyclist respond in areas where other road users may move unexpectedly?

Correct answer

Anticipate and prepare for other road users’ movements.

Defensive riding requires observing the surroundings, anticipating other road users’ possible movements and adapting speed and distance to allow time to react. Required lighting helps visibility but does not replace anticipation; using lights as the only warning is insufficient.
