Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Wear high visibility clothing..
Even with the best headlights; drivers can see less at night than during the day. Pedestrians and unlit bicycles are extremely difficult to see in the dark; particularly if they have to deal with the glare of oncoming lights. Pedestrians should always wear bright and Hi-Viz clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night when walking outside built-up areas.
