1/2 shell- shorty- chips helmet in UK, France?
Searched the archives and web- can't find anything definitive
I've ridden for 20 years, and except for mc traing, have always worn a shoty, half shell, CHIPS call it what you will, helmet. Visors fog and scratch, can't get the chin over my shoulder to shoulder check, and can't hear the logging truck approaching with a full face. I can't think of travelling not wearing a shorty (looks like a Davida- sort of). It's what all police wear in the Americas. I am NOT talking about a skull cap. I used to live in Wales, rode an MZ and wore my shorty, and never heard a wisper from the fuzz, only fellow bikers telling me to get a "real lid".
What I need to know is
Will I be breaking the law in the UK, Fr and Italy by wearing my shorty?
Even if agaisnt the law, will I be pulled over and ticketed for it?
