i think they'll just tell you that it's dangerous to have to tint more as your visiblity goes lower , etc etc .

tinted visor is dangerous ???? i dun think so cos i seen many *ppl riding wif clear visor but they are wearing the darkest shades .

no point lah....

Sianzzz... especially for bikers like me who are wearing spectacles. When you are wearing specs difficult to wear sunglasses in a full face helmet when we travel in the afternoon. When I wear sunglasses with my full face helmet on, nobody can see my facial stuff also what so I really don't understand the TP's rational.

If u wearing dark visor when u go out in the afternoon, night time go home how to see man...

 

And riding halfway, starts to rain heavily. With normal visors, u can't even see too far, let alone dark visors.

 

I think sunglasses are still the best choice lah. Want o use, juz put on. If not, juz keep in pocket.

 

For speckys like me, u can trying buy specs that comes with clip-on or magnetic shades. I used that. So far, so good.

Dunno if this is the appropriate place to place this thread, if not, please direct me to the right place and I will it there.

 

I am currently a learner rider and have bought a new helmet. Seeing so many stickers at the back, I got irritated and remove them all, including that PSB. There is when the problem started. The instructor have banned me from using that helmet in the circuit as it is without the certification. Since it is very new (less than 2 mths), I find it very wasted to chuck it aside and get a new one.

 

What I like to know is this. Is there any way that I can get the sticker back? Is so, where and what is the cost?

 

tks

[archenemy]

my friend...

 

that sticker is all important...

 

and if i can buy it...i can buy any non PSB-approved helmet and just stick on the sticker...isnt it?

 

that will only make PSB approved helmets useless. some are useless anyway. there are much better ones, just that they are not sent for inspection.

 

so its either you get another helmet or use the helmets at the driving centre...

 

keep your current one for your pillion next time..or as a spare yourself. when you ride on the roads..they are not so strict already...

 

but anyway...i read somewhere that some shop around jalan besar sells the sticker...dont know how true is it...

[kahhwee]

I would suggest u keep the helmet for bya next time pillion use. Now get another helmet and go and learn how to ride. Outside not to strict one.

[ellamcoy]

Good advice Kahhwee

[gen8x]

my idea is to put in two small drivers (speaker) inside the helmet.

 

i took out the cushion and make a hole in the base foam layer and fit them there.

 

 

i know it's illegal but will kena check or not? in my entired year of riding, i havnt got checked on the helmet once.

 

how bout u?

[archenemy]

man...modifying a helmet is not about getting caught..its about your own safety!

 

didnt you read the instruction manual for your helmet? no modifications to be done!

[kish_garfield]

next time u mod put on helmet then can help do rally!!!

[phatmonsta]

so is there really any shop to get the psb sticker..?? i oso itchy hand go peel off that sticker frm my mgp helmet... u think tp will believe if say the sticker drop off

[binkaz]

If got sticker then airbrush over the sticker can anot?

[danielburgess]

I wander what will happen if you go JB and airbrush the whole helmet in the silver/blue PSB sticker design. Stop by TP, "is your helmet approved?" You can proudly reply, "Are you BLIND!"

 

Cheers

hahaha.....nice one

cars up to 30% tinted only mehz for passenger window? i saw 1 car bmw 7series the car almost fully tinted cant even see the inside when u're close.. i bet it's at least 60% tinted..

 

30% tinted is as good as not tinted at all rite? haha... if u wear a clear visor, and a super dark sunglass isin't it = wearing a tinted visor? no difference it makes.. duno y those TP ppl r dumbass x=

[hairisg76]

one day after my night shift duty, i happen to be stopped at a TP road block along Yio Chu Kang Road at 11 am...

 

bloody bright sunny day , i was wearing my pillion open faced helmet with pitch black visor. i also have with me my full faced visor with clear visor.

 

The officer told me that it was an offence to wear the tinted visor and i should be wearing my full face clar visor helmet with sunglasses instaed.

 

i argued with him for a good ten minutes till he give up and told me to go...hehehe

i was asking him to explain what in the world in the difference and he could not give me an aswer beside the law states so...

 

further more i told him i had just finished night shift and was feeling tired...the sun will make mesleepy and it would be dangerous...

 

i think he fed up cos i argue too much that he decide to just let me ride off and quit bothering him...lol:sweat:

[kurarensu]

i saw some webbie they got sell this visor tat can switch betwn tinted n clear.. another one is like transitition spec(wonder if u all noe) under strong sunlight it will turn dark, and when nrml light it's clear.. i forget where i saw it.. paiseh .. but i remb pretty ex

[compfused]

30% still can pass..But no difference if the sun is scorching hot and very bright..Recently a friend of mine kena fined coz his tinted visor was 34%..What the hell..Just 4% more..

[Guest nE0]

Tinted visors are actually safer in some situations, because when you need to, you can just flip them up and restore proper, untinted vision.

 

Just try riding down a slope into an underground carpark;

 

Braking, downshifting, half-clutch, slowing for a hump. Now try to take off your sunglass.

[desewer]

Anyway, about the sticker issues...

 

In the case of an accident, whether or not your head is injured, how is the insurance company going to know what helmet you are wearing?

 

If a friend is accompanying you, just get him to keep the helmet for you. If you are concussed, chances are the helmet will only be removed at the hospital (after they survey the damage to your head whaahahah)
