    Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

    I’ve been riding for years but had to renew my license. The motorcycle tests now has a section where you have to find the motorcyclist in the rain.

    And honestly, that section broke me. I love riding in dark colors on my dark bike. But I’d be god damn near invisible in the rain.

    And I wished this test was forced on everybody (motorcyclists, car heads, hell even bike riders).

        It’s only visible from the back, but more bikes are coming equipped with brake lights that strobe for a second when activated to get more attention. (We only have one rear brake light, compared to three on cars). And now it’s easy to find add-on helmet lights that also activate with the brakes. Not the all-rounder lighting you’re talking about, but early info seems promising.
