If the light wasn't great then it seems silly, but like I said, if he can see properly then there isn't an issue.

As far as I know, while the visor is closed, what you wear underneath is irrelevent to the law.
It's only the less sensible coppers who will object to a race visor on a sunny day and even the non-sensible ones will usually do no worse than remind you that it's illegal.

I think thats right to, But when you open your visor or wear an open face lid, then you eye protection must conform to some BS standard

I think you can get fined for a dark visor if they choose to, you wont get points on your licence for it though ( I think )

I ride with my shades on in the summer so that I can have the visor open as much as possible- at least around town when not going so fast, as one just feels so much more aware of ones surroundings (safer) and its great when the air is fresh!

Sometimes there is a point. So long as he can see where he's going I see no problem with him wearing both.
i thought that a tinted visor would havbeen enugh didnt know it was realy bright sun cos he didnt say that
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.
You have to remember that on the internerd most people can't read between the lines.

Either that or just do what I do and assume that a few people on the forum are complete idiots, that unless something is spelt out for them in exact detail can't grasp the point.
