Lets go back to the topic question-
Under no circumstances will you be nicked for wearing a dark visor in bright sunny daylight, no matter how black it is!
if fitted a visor MUST be kitemarked with a ZA rating or the european ece 22.05 equivalent. it MUST allow 50% light transfer.
failure to comply will result in a FPN.
that is the law, how a police officer decides to implement it is up to him.
just as a footnote, the risk of retinal damage is far higher when using a fully black visor (unless it's a genuine arai/shoei) as there are no UV filters on them and the pupil is more dilated due to 'less' light hitting the retina.
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
