motorcycle conspicuity

Motorcycle conspicuity: how readily motorcycles are seen and detected by other road users — daytime running lights, high-visibility gear, contrast against background, and looked-but-failed-to-see detection failures involving motorcycles. Being SEEN by other drivers, distinct from the rider's own control ability (motorcyclist_skill), the machine's handling dynamics (motorcycle_handling), helmet injury protection (helmet_protective), and crash typology (motorcycle_crash_typology).
