Do any of you guys have iridium/tinted visors?

[Stu]

sorry to correct you Tim but you arent right on that.

The law is a bit weird. The visor has to conform to regulations but anything else doesnt. So if you have an MX lid you can have black iridium goggles and wear them at midnight and its still not an offense. Its not an offense to wear dark glasses on a bike or in the car at night either.

Where you would come unstuck is if you had an accident as these could be brought up as contributory factors...you could end up getting done for due care or even dangerous driving.

 

just to add to this

it is illegal to wear sunglasses with the visor lifted up

as sunglasses arent CE approved eye wear perfectly legal with the visor down

what about if you havent got a visor??
