I'm not sure that tape on the visor is illegal as I've seen someone with something similar that had bikesafe branding on it. Might be wrong though

Can't say I've seen anything about not putting stickers on your visor. Pretty sure as long as it's not restricting your view there's no problem with it.
Same as dark visors, just carry a clear one too, and your ok.

Maybe the bikesafe branding one is just a sticker and not designed for that use

If you are stopped for a dark visor and it does not have the bs kitemark (which it wont) then carrying a spare clear wont get you off the dark visor charge.

On the dark visor issue my theory is that the only reason they do not allow it for daylight riding is that it will be a nightmare (pun) to police, especially in our latitude on the planet that gives long twilight and therefore endless appeals against how dark it was or needs to be before you have to put your clear one on. So its far simpler to just say no to dark visors full stop.
And I still don't get the law because you can ride with sun glasses because the law states that you can remove them. But you can lift up a visor just the same, yet they say "ah the visor is protection and should be in place. Yet you can buy open face helmets without protection.
Or is it like the direction indicators law that is - you don't have to have them, but if they are fitted they must work.
