Why should you avoid riding in a vehicle’s blind spot?

Avoiding riding in a vehicle’s blind spot is crucial primarily because you may not be visible to the driver. When you are in a blind spot, the driver simply cannot see you, making it highly dangerous as they may change lanes or make turns without realizing you are there. This situation significantly increases the risk of a collision, as the driver will not be aware of your presence and may inadvertently put you in harm's way.

The other options do not address the critical safety aspect relevant to motorcycle riding. Legal requirements, while important, do not capture the immediate danger of being unseen by other drivers. Similarly, concerns about wind resistance and engine overheating are not applicable to the situation of riding in blind spots. The primary focus should always be on visibility and safety on the road.
