| tinted motorcycle visors
Kinda curious about this one, because it affects your ability to make eye contact with other drivers, as well as see in the dark etc...
Are smoke visors on full face helmets just legal during daylight hours or something?
What about gradient lenses?

Tinted visor at night is illegal, I believe. It's falls under the whole "no driver should have obstructed vision blah blah blah" section.
But really, you shouldn't ride with a tinted visor at night. I did that once. Bad idea. Never gonna do that again.

This would be the section....saying that, I have never heard of anyone being charged or convicted for it. It might be considered driving without due care, in some circumstances, spoecially if a crash resulted.
Requirements for moving vehicle
195 (1) A person must not cause a vehicle to move on a highway if
(a) the control of the driver over the driving mechanism of the vehicle, or
(b) the view of the driver to the front or sides of the vehicle
is obstructed.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

As far as I know there is nothing that deals specifically with wearing of sunglasses at night (Cory Hart fan?) but, as I said above in the visor comments, it could be a problem...specially in a civil trial when they only have to prove 51%.
