terribleturner Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 That's just stupid banning tinted visors. So what do they suggest? We wear sun glasses under our lids that can not be flipped up or removed from our direct vision quickly. F'ing idiots the lot of them. #4061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I know it takes the piss! I got pulled about 5 times last summer for a dark visor. I allways ask the reason for being pulled unless its obvious like wheelies at 90:D They allways say its because of your illegal visor mate and then give you an hour lecture on safe riding FFS, followed by a £30 fine:( The difference between a tinted visor and sunglasses baffles me? Apparently the powers that be like to see your face:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steviekid Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Voted too. Riding when suns low without a dark visor can be just plain dangerous. I once got caught out and had to tailgate a lorry in front of me just so i could see the road surface without being blinded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 It's probably so they can prove in court who was riding by showing a picture from a camera!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 The reasoning behind it is that the DfT reckons we wear them just to look "cool" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Pulled for a tinted visor? That just takes the piss. Next thing will be no wearing sunglasses at all, riding or driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martynb Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 The reasoning behind it is that the DfT reckons we wear them just to look "cool" not like iridium visors then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 What is it with iridium and gixer owners? Must be the genes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I tried on one of those lids with an inner flippy dark visor (see pic)at the weekend. Might go back and buy one. I got a lecture recently despite it being the brightest day of the year so far:( and carrying a clear relacement in case I stayed out later than planned. Oh ..... I voted too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I reckon they're banning the wrong thing. I say go to the root of the source and ban racing style motorbikes! They're machines for mad men who won't stop until they loose a limb or their lives. You should all be made to ride choppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
