What is the purpose of reflectors on motorcycles and mopeds?

The purpose of reflectors on motorcycles and mopeds is to ensure visibility in low-light conditions. These reflectors are designed to reflect light from other vehicles, making the motorcycle or moped more visible to drivers, especially at night or during adverse weather conditions. This increases safety by helping to prevent accidents, as other drivers can see the motorcycle or moped from a greater distance, allowing them to take necessary precautions.

Using reflectors effectively contributes to overall road safety by enhancing the visibility of smaller vehicles, which can be harder to spot compared to larger vehicles. This is particularly important for motorcycles and mopeds, as they are less prominent on the road and more vulnerable in traffic situations.
