Helmet and Tinted visors issues

[desewer]

Road Traffic Act

(2) No person shall import, sell or offer for sale or have in his possession for sale any protective helmet which is not of a type approved by the Minister.

 

Oh well...

Once and for all, don't need PSB sticker for your helmet.

 

if u are TP/ROV/LTA, u summon rider for no psb sticker,u go back station tell your colleagues, everybody laugh at you ar.

 

PSB sticker helmet under high impact also will crack ,i seen with my own eyes before.Insurance claim as long as you are wearing helmet can already, if not then say helmet fly into the bushes,or kena stolen/destroyed/cannot find.

 

Just put on a decent helmet,have PSB or not really doesnt matter.

 

I think these are baseless conclusions. We all know whether PSB matters or not. Now the issue is WHY things work this way. We should be thinking of a way to get reasonable explanations from the authorities (hmmm is it LTA, TP or PSB?)

 

Maybe we should go ask the MPs and see whether they can get some answers for us lol. Anybody wanna try out?

But laws/regulations are not written to suit everyone from Day1 and they are meant to be enhanced over time.

 

Better stick with the current regulations and though I agree with your belief that many helmets which do not have the sticker are also very safe, we should still not break this intentionally as this is in place to safe-guard those who are new to this environment.

 

Probably someone could start a petition to allow all approved helmets to be allowed (i.e. DOT, SNELL, PSB) and once this is adopted, it will then be a WIN/WIN situation for everyone.

This is madness !

 

Called TP regarding the PSB stickers.

 

Me : Hello, i'm calling in regards of the PSB approved helmet.

TP3 : Hold on.

 

TP2 : Hello !

Me : Hello! i'm calling in regards of the PSB approved helmet.

TP2 : Where you calling from?

Me : I'm just a rider!

TP2 : Hold on.

 

TP1 : Hello !

Me : Hello! i'm calling in regards of the PSB approved helmet.

TP1 : Oh ! Hond on!

 

TP : Hello.

Me : Hello! i'm calling in regards of the PSB approved helmet.

TP : ya ! wat's ur question?

Me : Is it illegal to wear a helmet w/o the sticker.

TP : Yes !

Me : Where should i get the sticker if i send my helmet for respray?

TP : Erm......... This you have to ask LTA, they are in charge.

Me : So am i right to say tat TP still has the right to summon riders for not wearing a PSB approved helmet when it is not under the TP's charge?

TP : Yes, but have you heard of anyone caught by the TP on this?

Me : No. And i don wanna be the first.

TP : tat's right, we don usually tis.

Me : And i don wanna get caught for wearing a PSB approved helmet tat has no sticker on it cause of respray. I'm jus tryin to make things clear.

TP : I give u LTA number, call them and ask ok?

Me : ok. tks.

TP : 0000-0000

Me : Tks !

 

 

Another madness !

 

LTA : Hello LTA.

Me : Hello. i'm calling in regards of the PSB approved helmet.

LTA : yes, wat abt it?

Me : I'm usin a PSB approved helmet. Where should i get the sticker if i send my helmet for respray?

LTA : Why you want to respray?

Me : Oh ! Tis is because my skin are gettin darker, so i was thinkin wanna spray my helmet color to suits my skin color.

LTA : Hahaha !

Me : So where do i get the sticker after the respray?

LTA : Let me check.

 

approx 2 mins later

 

LTA : The helmet is not under us, it's under TP.

Me : Oh ! I jus called them, they say it's under LTA and now u r tellin me it under them. So am i right to say tat both TP and LTA can summon riders for not wearing a PSB approved helmet when it's not under your perview?

LTA : I think u go ask PSB.

Me : ok Tks a lot for ur time.

 

Damn !!!

KNS !!!

 

 

To be continue...........................................

Even if it's approved i wouldn't want to wear that. So EXPOSED!!!

[Guest @h_püi™]

Half Cap helmet with PSB approved can it be use on the road? will kana tp or ROV disturb?

[Man V.1]

if got PSB approved that means can use legally. don't tink they will disturb wan. i see many ppl riding also some more no PSB sticker.

[5tr4ng3r]

Hi everybody..

need to ask this issue abt the visibility of visor...

Just yesterday i was stopped by a TP regarding my visor..To my understanding, you can use any helmet with visor of at least 70% light transmittance at any time. However, after addressing with this issue on the spot with the TP, he only told me that there is no such laws and that if there are any, the TPs would have used it. He did not even conduct any test using the tint meter. Nothing. He insisted on giving me the summon and that if I want to I can appeal.

 

To me it does not justify the fact that no test was conducted yet I was given a summon for possessing a legal helmet with a tinted visor that complies with the rules.

 

As I am very sure that my visor is lightly tinted with 70% if not more light transmittance, I'm just wondering how to solve this when i appeal?

Is it possible to go down to TP HQ and test my visor at the same time appeal for this unjustifiable issue of summon?

 

Need your advice on what should be done next.

Thanx guys!

[ping86]

hmm if got sticker, but the sticker wordings fate away already how? isit still legally?

[Jengo]

from wat i know, presently there is no such thing as slightly tinted visors or 30% tinted being legal for use.

 

but wat i'd like to know is, will there be an imposed fine for any pillion wit tinted visors on? n i wud like to know if the source is reliable or not. tanx!!

[Jengo]

anyone wif ans regarding my enquiry?

[ghost04]

pillion high chance they wont fine. they aim mainly at riders. a TP officer told me one. i got fined twice in a week. 1 road block n along the highway. tat was ard 2 years ago. n L*B say their smoke visor approve one!!

[Jengo]

but i got buy one full black visor at LAB n dat time i ask d abang which percentage of tinted visors are approved n he says NONE.

 

so up to date.. LAB says all tinted visors r not legally approved.

[ghost04]

nvm since it happened 2 years ago now policy change i also wont know.

[ghost04]

just be safe!!!

[Pplater]

Ahaha... yesterday I in middle of 3 lane road along Bradell. Evening peak hour, saw TP ROV overtake me on the right, siao liao... tinted visor, but i was sandwhich between a huge MPV infront an a salon car behind, just merged into major road. He no chance to come in behind me. Suddenly see he signal left in front of the MPV, o o... might be coming for me liao, then he went to left lane. I see left lane clear, i faster take the chance change lane left safely and turn into Toa Payoh. He stop after the filter left lane into Toa Payoh, no chance to stop me as he overshoot the exit liao. He dismounted the bike, i think he was looking at my direction. Lol... Heng ah... Lesson learnt, must observe road traffic and anticipate ROV movements. Lol... Later I u turn was opposite side of Bradell, he pull over those cement trucks and check this check that at the saem spot liao. Hehe...

not exactly, my friend kena coz his gf pillion was wearing a black, u know those kind where riders wear normal and the gf wear black like want to hide the face.haha. but ya..kena FINE.

appealing for this offence is useless. i suspect they already set their tint meters to work against us. my visor last time was sure light as it was the lightest among the shop and it only showed 40% disability on the tp's meter and that caught me dumbfounded. and also gave me $50 receipt for them to claim. so lets just stick to clear ones and use sunglasses.

[Jengo]

wah! comfem fine ah? is there any significant rule in d TP's book dat states dat pillion cant wear tinted visors?

[CoStar]

not sure man but that was what i heard. that was his 2nd meet with tp on that day. 1st was because he corner so low and tp saw. kena nothing. then along the way another tp stop him..for pillion visor.

[Guest DaxThe3rd]

I guess it would be good if sum one's family members or frens is a TP or ROV would give us a advice. Tat way, we'll all kno TP's actual criteria. =)

 

Possible?

[FinG]

if i not wrong...both of them(rider+pillon)cant wear since it already say in the law,but still luck count,TP good=let u off,TP fcuk up=$50 gone

i not a TP but i got a good frz which is TP to me 10 yr till now since he caught me 3 time 10 yr back lol
