In motorcycling, what is the purpose of Presentation?

The purpose of Presentation in motorcycling is to ensure that you are visible to other road users. By positioning your motorcycle in a way that maximizes visibility, you minimize the chances of being overlooked by cars and other vehicles. This means using lane positions that allow you to be seen clearly, particularly at intersections and in traffic where visibility can be compromised.

Prioritizing visibility helps to enhance safety on the road, as many motorcycle accidents occur because other drivers simply do not see the motorcyclist. By adopting a strategic lane position, you not only improve your own safety but also give other drivers a better chance to react appropriately to your presence. This proactive approach to visibility is essential for safe riding, and it aligns with the principles taught in the Basic Rider Course.
