[OhMiGosh]

well its like using helmets without the PSB stickers.. even if pillion use unapproved visor which is like using an unapproved helmet which means still liable for summon.

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

[jB]

jeez kinda unfair since pillion don need to look out for traffic cuz not riding and even with approved helmet kena a lil very tui... btw i looking for legal limit tinted visor topic..30% i heard is ok..wonder where is the topic page..

[c0rny]

30% tinted visors are rare. almost dun have. heard that normal visors are already 10%.

try the nova helmet that is selling in jb. the visor is transparent on the bottom half and tinted on the top half.

dunno can pass anot.

 

cos tp check, can only insert the scanner into the transparent part..

Apparently what i worked out that why fully tinted, mecury tinted visor are not allow in singapore mainly bcos of not only the rider's safety reason, but also so that TP or who-so-ever could be able to see your face clearly.

 

Lets say you involved in an accident or crime and you got away, people will be able to identify you, or what so ever, but think about it, if a criminal had an intention in mind, he would have wore a tinted visor instead?

 

Other than that, i seriously don't understand WHY can we only wear 30% tinted visor... other than rider's safety, there must be a reason behind all this regulations.

 

Definitely we will know our own safety and we should be responsible of what we do, just like Singhs, they cant wear helmets due to their "hairstyle" but regulations allow them due to religion. - riding at their own risk.

 

Singapore government, EVERYTHING also wnana care..... hai......

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

Singhs..Maybe Creators And Helmet Designers Should Think One For Themm... Don`t You Guys Think So????

If i get my history right, the FF helmet and tinted visor issues has been around for ages.

 

Many years ago, the FF helmets were banned cos bank robbers and other crooks were wearing them when committing a crime. Since the CCTV or witnesses could not catch their faces, a full ban on FF helmets and tinted visors were enforced.

 

Not until an Ang Moh dude wrote in the forum pages on why Singapore banned such an essential safety gear for riders. He quoted that in some european countries, open face helmets were even illegal. He backed with facts that a FF helmet will be safer for riders. After that, the ban on FF helmets were lifted but the tinted visor remains. If you notice, there are stickers outside bank doors saying you have to remove your helmets and sunglasses before entering the bank.

 

So either blame the bank robbers for using the FF helmets in the first place or blame the rule makers for not understanding that riders need to look cool with tinted visors.

well for the seat belts i understand... its for safety... but ho about pillion using tinted getting fines???? hmmm...

it is not unusual for riders to use their pillion helmets due to whatever reasons. hence, pillions are also not allowed to use heavily tinted helmets : )

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

Still I Do Not Find The Answer Why Pillions Do Get The Fines For Tinted Visors..

[c0rny]

the tp that stopped me said its dangerous for pillion to wear a tinted visor as pillion do not have clear vision of wad is ahead.
