No, not illegal... It's legal to wear an open face helmet so nothing to worry about mate.


In the interests of safety though I would wear it down. If you have an off and you land face first you ain't gonna look to good.... for the rest of your life...

Like others have said it's perfectly allowed. I've worn mine up past police bikes before (with my big aviator sunglasses on I might add!) and there's never been a problem. I only tend to wear it up at very low speed, such as around town or when parking/pulling out, for the reasons that Korben has said.


As a side note I thought it was interesting when my riding instructor told me that flip front helmets are the only ones you don't need to take off in a bank! With standard full face helmets the law says that you have to take them off at places such as petrol stations, etc (though many don't do it). However with a flip front it's all good. Strangely the only time he's ever been told to take it off was at Blockbuster Video when returning a DVD! Banks fine, Blockbuster no!
