    Dark Visors technically aren't road legal but ACPO guidelines tell the officer to use common sense when addressing bikers wearing them, if it's daylight then they're allowed to use their own discretion.

    Carrying a clear visor makes you appear more sensible. I carry one at work as I change my visor for the ride home. Well, used to, but I left my dark visor at a mates and it's gone missing :(

    I think they should be allowed personally.

    Ok they should be taken off at night, because you can not see anything at all. But when its low sun like in winter they are needed, and i dont know about you, but wearing sunglasses makes me feel a bit cautious, because if you crash and they shatter :(

    Im a right in thinking the only reason they became illegal was because..........

    Some fecking tit went round a track in a car with a helmet and tinted visor on and he couldent see some grey markings on the track so they became illegal.

    However not all tinted visors are illegal they have to be a certain percent dark or summing like that
