if the law requires a helmet, then, wouldn't this village directive be ... illegal!

BF northwest I think does it too.

there is a type of helmet that looks like a baseball cap without the visor. it's just a padded dome. the rest of the face is very visible.
it should be agreeable to all parties involved.

Hmmm just realized, if they get your license when you go inside their village, wouldn't that be illegal too since you'll be driving without a license?

the license inside the pocket does not offer the driver any significant protection from an accident, on private roads or on public roads.
the worn helmet does, and the un-worn helmet does not. private and public roads.

the license is just to identify you as having privilege to drive on public roads. you don't lose much else if you surrender it to the guard.
when they ask you to surrender your helmet, they deprive you of some of your chances of surviving a head-boggling accident.

I agree.. Just look at Japan

For me these should only be temporary measures while increasing police visibility is still not sustainable.

Re: private subdivisions they can always inspect the rider to see if they have any firearms. Since all exits are guarded no need for this measure IMO.

Use modular helmets. Angat mo lang if papasok ka sa subdivision or urban area. Baba mo lang if sa highway.

No need for ban nonsense.

"please surrender your visors with the guard..."

i wonder... does the jockey's "helmet" protect him enough...?

Motorcycle friends, mostly experienced riders and racers, are vehemently against this.

Such a helmet offers no protection to the jaw or the neck, and is almost useless.
