Black Visor

Has anyone had any problems with the police when wearing black visor’s, I put mine on today due to the sun being so low.

When I used to ride my bikes the police used to enjoy pulling me over to advise me that we shouldn’t be wearing them, just wondered if the same applies when in the car

no problems with mine either

I dont think the police would know what to charge you with, as its not a tinted windscreen and you are not on a bike

I have tried that but my glasses (raybans) are polarized (sp), so when I put my visor (clear) down they polarize for some reason and make it look like there are 2 visors - not good

I use these inserts - http://www.oxford-shop.co.uk/item3241.htm

They work well for me as I like a tight helmet and can't get sunglasses on!

i've never had a prob with silver, black or blue in car or on bike. once got pulled for a simpson bandit though as the visor appature was too small.
at the end of the day i don't think your really allowed to wear a helmet in a car on the road so i doubt a dark visor will make much difference.

p.s. those inserts are great, used them on the bike, if you get caught out by the dark on the way home you can just take them out, roll them up and put them in your pocket, un roll them the next day. a lot easier than carrying a spare visor

Should have any probs with the police when driving a car as it is not a legal requirement to wear a helmet on anything with 3 or more wheels.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Tom and Speedy are right. Most of us wouldnt know where to start with that. Its just the traffic, oh sorry Roads Policing, boys and girls that might have a clue with that one. Send me a u2u as a reminder and i'll try and get you a definative answer.

I have Caberg helmets for my car. They have internal tinted drop down visors which are quick to put in place.

I have a Caberg Justissimo helmet - same weight as most others, flip front, internal flip-down dark visor, doesn't tend to lift up at speed.

Only real downside is that the wind noise is high...
