Latest news on the dark visor debate

The doors have just closed on the latest meeting of the BSI visor committee, the body charged with examining the relaxation of the laws on dark visors.

Alan Goodman, a rider, and member of the committee, who has been keeping MCN abreast of the latest developments, has just posted this update on our News chat board.

” Just got back from the BSI meeting. Thanks very much to Tony Carter (RoSPA’s chief examiner) for attending and supporting us.

” We’ve been told not to give any details of the meeting (they were pissed off with me for speaking to MCN – I have told them that I decided to do so after getting nowhere by playing by the rules for bloody years!) so I have to be a bit careful.

” All I can say is that the BSI committee has given its official response to the DTLR consultation, and of course the response is in support of 18% visors for daytime use only. DTLR will not make any comment on their position until after the end of the consultation (14th June).

” They will then make recommendations to the Minister who will make an announcement. Things are still looking good! As soon as I can tell you any more, I will. ”
