In Day 6 of the 12 Days of Motorcycle Safety, we welcome back returning guest John DelVecchio, a motorcycle training expert and author from Rochester, New York, for a critical discussion on visibility and being seen on the road. We dive deep into the "SMIDSY" phenomenon (Sorry Mate, I Didn't See You) and explore the science behind why drivers often miss motorcyclists—including eye movement blind spots called saccades, convergence invisibility, and windshield zoning. Listen and share with friends and family who ride.
