What can be done to increase headlight visibility at night?

Adjusting the headlight and ensuring it is clean and properly aimed significantly enhances visibility at night. When a motorcycle's headlight is clean, it allows maximum light to be projected onto the road, which is critical for seeing obstacles and potential hazards. A properly aimed headlight ensures that the light is directed where it is most needed—illuminating the road ahead without blinding oncoming traffic. Incorrectly aimed headlights can lead to reduced visibility and can create dangerous situations both for the rider and for other drivers.

Brighter bulbs might seem like a straightforward solution, but they only address one aspect of visibility and could potentially lead to glare for other drivers if not aimed correctly. Using high beams in the city can also be counterproductive, as it risks blinding other motorists and may not be permissible depending on local regulations. Keeping the headlight off is not a reasonable option, as it would severely compromise visibility and safety while riding. Maintaining proper lighting is essential for safe motorcycle operation, especially at night.
