When the low sun is behind you, you see perfectly – but oncoming traffic and turning cars can hardly see you. Many motorcycle accidents happen in exactly these moments.
Thinking for others
- Notice the sun's position: If your shadow stretches long in front of you, others are dazzled.
- Approach junctions slowly: Expect a car turning across your path to miss you.
- Stay ready to brake: Fingers on the brake when cars come out of side roads.
