Here are two easy ways to increase your visibility. If you have room, install this LED bulb in your headlight.

I am going to get one of those lights as soon as I can tell if it will fit my scooter. I will have to try and figure out how to get to the bulb. Not info came with the scooter for that.

Good for you. The price of the rider safety class is one of the best investments you will every make.

To ad to Spud's comment on the extra LED in the headlight, a brake light flasher and a red LED light strip on the back of the bike. Preferably tied into the flasher. And the brightest LEDs you can get for the turn signals.

Disregard the background music.

Congratulations on passing the STAR course.

That idiot in the video was very lucky not to get a 'Darwin Award.'
