so what you're saying there is that dark visors are illegal!

'Advice only'
If you have been stopped ACPO states the officer is to have a word with you only, therefore a police officer will not nick you for it!

they're fuckin illegal...................end of!
what a copper does to you if they catch you wearing one is the only variable here, you have presented the ACPO guidelines that say 'they're illegal and we can/will/should prosecute' but you're too thick to see it.
lift your visor up and smell the coffee!

I'll stay polite-
Not once have I questioned the legality- the question is will you get nicked, the answer since 2008 is no if in daylight, simple as! The fact I had to point out that they will only advise you shows you're not reading it!
And I have been stopped several times, and every time it's the same, they will not nick you in daylight, end of!

Sure, *if* they'll fit your head shape.
I tried both the Schuberth and Caberg lids with the sun visors, but they just didn't fit me.

8) I would say No.....as long as its day light, there seems to be a lot of tinted visors nowadays, and other tints, so i would say you'd be ok,

You know the law. So it's up to you. I used a black visor on an arai race helmet, in the summer, but it was a pain when the clouds came out. I got a flipdown sunglass type thing, which worked much better. One of the RS helmets = schuberth copy. Most comfy lid I've had, with bluetooth as well.
But to be honest, the best solution I found was the (can't remember the name) stick on, uv activated jobby that darkens to a blue color when the sun breaks, and fades to a slight smoked tint when it doesnt. I can't remember the name as I had a new visor sent over by my folks and told them to go to crossans in newry and just ask for a visor for whatever agv it was, and stick that thing on that goes dark!!
Dark visors are just a pain in the UK. Just no guarantee of any Sun, never mind too much!!!!
