Hint: Safe to ride with a White or Bright Helmet !!

Although black helmets are popular among motorcyclists, they offer the least visibility to motorists at night time. A rider wearing a plain white helmet rather than a black one reduces his or her chance of collision by 24% because it is so much more visible, either both at day or night. Nevertheless, black helmets outsell white ones (photo, above) by 20:1. Helmets of other colors vary in the visibility they provide to motorists by where they fall on a scale from black to white.
