This is how I ride during the day or night, wearing a safety yellow jacket. Plus, a blinking taillight at night.

I stay right on the street providing enough room to the passing cars. I never ride my bikes without wearing a safety yellow jacket that has reflective strips, day or night. The safety yellow jacket makes you more visible than any other thing. Never faced an issue so far.

P.S. I also wear a safety yellow helmet, but I don't think it is really necessary, if you are wearing a safety yellow jacket.
