I wear a black fully tinted always :) and i've never been stopped, police dont actually mind it if its nice weather and really sunny, because you can say the sun can catch you out with clear visor, just dont wear it in the dark.. cause thats just plain stupid xD
I remember them bringing this law in - fuckwits - it was ilegal to have a brand new unmarked visor without an 'anti-scratch coating' But legal to have an anit-scratch one that was too damaged to see out of. Mental. We soon made a kite-mark stencil for the engraver hehehehe!
Never had a problem here (Australia) and I used to have a blue iridium one but now rock a dark as fuck black one....tried to ride home at night with it and it was so hard but much better than no protection....my eyes stung like shit when I popped it open in the darker areas on the way.
The smart option would be to wear a clear one with sunglasses underneath
All tinted visors you buy lets say on ebay or infinity motorcycles are 1000% LEGAL. They let in at least 50% of light. The law states that it is ILLEGAL to ride with such visor at night! I have a tinted visor dark smoke and I never got stopped or something...
The answer is Get a Caberg helmet which has a retractable inner dark visor for sunny days Just flip it back into the helmet when the sun goes down. Problem solved. Might not be as cool looking as Iridium but it saves hassle from the men in dayglo
@notwocdivad D= Bastard cop lied to me!!!! I got hit in the face with a rock and my visor had a huge chunk missing so I was riding to the shop to get a new one, and he pull me over for not having my visor down!!!
Its actually more illegal to not have visor ;) You can have tinted as long as it lets in more than 50% light. So no riding at night with one, or on dingy dark days =]
@187Premises silly because a visor saved by dads face in an open faced helmet after he was hit by a truck! He skidded along the highway and the visor got shredded but his face was ok!
@moltenmetal@187Premises he is right. visors are not a requirement here. i think i seen something about needing to have some sort of eye protection tho , but i may be mistaken.
got to agree, the police dont care about tinted visors as long as you dont use them when it is dark. In Bedfordshire most of the traffic police motorcyclists use them when on their own machines. I use one and carry a spare clear one in the panniers in case I have to ride in the dark.
@diff22000 True, police usually do turn a blind eye to dark visors in the day. But when you ride a hooligan bike like a SuperMoto the police try to find any reason to stop you.
@SickK8GSXR600 The Lords is an upper house of Parliament where a lot of old men wear silly wigs and sleep quite a bit during working hours. Nothing to do with the judicial system which is a seperate entity. I believe your upper and lower houses of the Senate are based on the British Parliament.(Although I could be mistaken).
hahaha, nice clip Premises. I went on a BikeSafe course with The Met recently wearing my 'technically illegal' dark visor, all the Police riders said it was fine and they said they never pull up riders specifically for their visors.
I've had occasions where I've been blinded by the sun wearing my clear visor - it's way more dangerous than my dark visor when the sun is out. Stupid law, but I think you'd have to get a traffic cop who was having a seriously bad day to pull you up on it.
Can you wear a clear visor and sunglasses underneath? I'm a motorcycle cop in New Zealand and we have no such law re:tinted visors, it seems quite ludicrous to me. My Schuberth C3 helmet has a pop down sun visor, would that be illegal in UK?
Dont think he'd care much, if anything he'd ask you to get it sorted out rather than fine you or anything along those lines ! Unless you were asked to fix it before then its a different storey! lol
@187Premises I hope so! I wanna see you back on the sumo. Did you get a vid of how the DRZ looked? Or is that something we all should be looking forward to? Because it must have been bad if the motorbike has been in the shop for two months?
@187Premises i like how that comment in the exact same words has been said on a few old DRZ vids XD
WEIRD i failed my only chance at a full graduated license cause i went 5 feet with my visor up. Shitty fuckin SGI and non riders evaluating how you ride.
The reason they're illegal is because they hide your face (assuming you mean the one way visors) and people would run about with them on doing all kinds of mischief.
@nastyevilninja Can you link me some article or proof of this? I'm not challenging you or being out of order, I was just always under the impression that it was because people would commit thieft/assault in these and they could easily conceal there face, even better if your escape was a motorbike.
Althought now I think of it I guess your explaination does sound more valid.
@jackdaknife I don't have anything to hand, but I know Police treat it the same as tinted car windows, and will test how much light it allows through. You can buy legal tinted visors but as they don't do the job they're supposed to, there isn't much point to them!
I really wouldn't worry, ive never had any problems, had police behind and in front, kept the jet black visor down and away i was. Ive seen some police with some too. I would imagine the police know just how stupid that law is, considering its safer to have a tint than to have a clear visor and be blinded by the sun. People like me need to wear glasses, we cant wear sunglasses, maybe some of us cant afford contact lenses? Its a load of bollox really.
@3N3R91Z3 I don't think tinted visors are legal, but I could be wrong. You're unlikely to get pulled because of one though. If you're making an ass of yourself and speeding and get pulled then the tinted visor is just something extra they can slap you for.
My answer to the 'law' when they want to give me a ticket for something stupid, like a tinted visor, or a 'slightly smaller than legal for aesthetic purposes only' licence plate, or a noisy exhaust that makes sure cars hear you, is this.... You do what you gotta do, and I do what I gotta do, you may catch me, you may fine me, but you won't stop me. As long as there are no points, take it on the chin and keep doing what you love, don't be afraid of them and don't let the fascists win! Ride safe.
@skatepeak Yea. Bit of a cheat using an MX helmet but some full helmets have little visor pop off buttons... if you can get at them with your gloves on lol.
@xDarhalx I dont wanna piss off the law. He might watch this video and feel I made a fool out of him. Then he might come after me with great vengeance and furious anger!
@187Premises But yet you didn't blur out the guys face! Now he'll come after you for making death threats!
... Just kidding with you :P What a dumb law...mandatory helmets, but no mandatory eye protection? Here in Florida (I call it Failada) all they require is eye protection, so you'll see a bunch of old men riding their harleys wearing nothing but sunglasses. So annoying.
Your bike sounds good.
