5carface Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 LOL vic as you can tell paul has kindly offered me one of hisThanks again paul. Out of intrest do you guys carry your spare visors with you when out playing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Always have my clear one with me when riding. My mirrored visor is illegal so if a Policeman decides to have a word with me I can show him I am being sensible and carrying a clear one should the weather turn or it goes dark. 99% of policemen are fine with that.

5carface Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thats good to know the one i have on my lid maybe a touch to dark for mr policeman but its great for bright days But i always plan to carry my clear just incase of weather change and to show i'd planned for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 • Tinted visors, if used during daylight hours, advice only, if used during the hours of darkness or conditions of reduced visibility consider prosecution using ‘Tintman’ equipment where available.It is acknowledged that there is much debate about this issue and many variables and anomalies can be applied. Therefore a pragmatic approach is necessary and only in cases where there is an obvious danger should prosecution be considered.The above are Guidelines taken from:Association of Chief Police Officer of England,Wales & Northern IrelandMotorcycle Enforcement Strategy For England, Wales & Northern IrelandThis document was up for review in Jan 2008.Available to look at in full (quite interesting really) at..http://www.ukpoliceonline.co.uk/index.p ... opic=25142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nice one Vicki... You have your uses!! Apparently in Wales they have a big thing against mirrored visors... Blinding oncoming drivers... I mean FFS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumilio Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I wear an illegally dark visor on the rare day there is sun! I always carry my clear one in a round-the-waist pouch - I've never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have never been stopped wearing mine but then I have never given then a reason to stop me, I.E riding with it on at night or in bad weather, fog/mist/heavy rain etc.I do carry a print out of the 'Motorcycle Enforcement Policy' taken and printed off the 'Association of Chief Police Officers' web site. I will show this if I ever get a tug just to proove I have done my homework and know what I am doing thus prooving, hopefully, to the officer that I am not a knobhead who just chances it. The document is here http://www.acpo.police.uk/policies.asp look about half way down. Some other interesting stuff on there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiffers Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I have a mate who is a cop on a bike. He rides to incidents and is an expert witness about accidents etc. (he drives bikes, HGVs, busses etc)I asked him.He said that at night time, you may get pulled if visor is down. But he said you'd only get pulled if you were doing something else bad, and that was all they could pin on you. He said that they need to measure tint with a special machine, which is hardly ever about. So the chances you get pulled by a car would be very very very slim. He also mentioned that the only people who may pull you are bike cops, but they again wouldn't do it unless you were riding like a twat. He said that a good reason (i.e. sun was in my eyes and glasses steam up) would suffice.I asked him about carrying the clear one. He said at night, yes, would be advisable, just on the off chance something did happen. But in the day, there is no point. He said that he wouldn't.He also added that most of his police biker mates wear tinted/mirrored visors.I know this isn't gospel, but handy to hear from the other side.However, if you had an accident it may act against you!I have a mirrorred visor, it says on it "for day time use only". When it's sunny I'll wear it, and not carry a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
