Tonight he wore sunglasses under his lid, nowt wrong with that I hear you say. He had a Dark Visor on to. Now I just think that is taking the P*ss

Why taking the ****? If it's bright enough to be necessary and he's careful about lifting the visor when he goes under very shaded areas like trees or tunnels then it's not an issue.

Sometimes there is a point. So long as he can see where he's going I see no problem with him wearing both.

I've done it myself quite often - admittedly my visor isn't *that* dark (blue iridium - but dark enough not to be legal) - but early morning & evening when the sun is bright & low it's a godsend.

It was just an assumption of mine, since he wouldn't be able to see where he was going if it wasn't very bright sunshine.

Just seemd pretty stupid to me, guys visor is pretty dark, compared to my iridium one and then to wear sunglasses underneath when it looked like it was going to rain due to dark clouds coming in overhead.

Sorry should have put more detail in my original post.
