you can overtake on zigzags, however you must not overtake the vehicle nearest the crossing.
What happens is she was on a call.
and what is this 'it's illegal to ride with the flip up' shit!it must have a secure fastning that must be done up whilst riding and if a visor is fitted must meet BSi or EC regs.that is all!

What planet are you guys on? You must not overtake a 'motor vehicle' within the confines of the zigzags leading to a pedestrian crossing.
Where does it say that it is illegal to ride with the flip-front up? Nowhere as far as I can find. I have searched all over for something definitive as laid down by the law, and there is nothing, just loads of layman-level discussion. True, you'd be daft to have it up much over 30mph (or whatever) 'cause the wind is gonna try and rip your head off, but law? No, not as far as I can see. As said, if you know better, PLEASE QUOTE SOURCE.
(and others have told me that the chin-bar itself is not crash-tested at all),
And agreed, a copper telling you so is not gonna be enough - where is HIS source? Coppers do not know everything there is to know about the law.

Sorry you're wrongBy your reckoning open face helmets are illegal and a visor cant be liftedBeing stopped by a jobsworth copper in Gloucestershire isnt exactly crown court evidence. They stopped me for a tinted headlight cover.Did he quote the law or just get high and mightyS13/14/15 of the RTA doesn't mention it at all
