When might you need to change your lane position while riding?

Changing your lane position while riding is important for improving visibility and safety, especially in situations where your line of sight is obstructed. Approaching a blind intersection constitutes a scenario where changing your lane position can be crucial. By adjusting your position within your lane, you can enhance your visibility to oncoming traffic and better see vehicles that may be hidden from view.

This practice reduces the risk of collisions, as it allows you to evade possible hazards that a standard straight-line position would not accommodate. It also allows you to place yourself in a more advantageous spot that can help other drivers see you.

Other situations, such as riding in a straight line, slowing down, or riding on a clear road, do not typically necessitate a lane position change. These circumstances often allow for stable and predictable riding, without the immediate need to adjust your lane for safety and visibility purposes.
