What should a rider be flexible about while riding at night?

Being flexible about lane position is crucial when riding at night due to several factors that can impact visibility and safety. At night, the lack of light can significantly reduce a rider's ability to see potential hazards, road conditions, and obstacles on the roadway. By adjusting lane position, a rider can enhance their visibility to other vehicles, making it easier for drivers to see them.

Moreover, nighttime riding can present unique challenges such as reduced depth perception and glare from oncoming headlights. By being willing to shift lane positions, a rider can find a more advantageous spot that allows for better sight lines, avoiding blind spots, and increasing the distance from vehicles that might be more difficult to see in the dark. This flexibility helps in maintaining a safer riding experience overall.

On the other hand, while speed adjustments, using turn signals, and wearing appropriate riding gear are all important aspects of safe riding, they do not directly address the specific nighttime challenges regarding visibility and positioning on the road.
