Its pretty obnoxious to keep it on (pre covid) in direct conflict with the request that every garage makes.
It could also put the people working in a garage in fear- especially at night or when they are alone. Hopefully you arent serious when you suggest its something you used to do? |  |

Some of the bollox coming out is fooking nonsense though.
Below - is lifted from some guidance for a motorbike club I am part of. This was genuinely issued yesterday ref social rides.
-------------------
Rides will be in separate groups, each with a ride leader assigned in advance
Only the Ride Leader will be issued with the route in advance of the day.
Each Ride Leader will have a different route from start to finish, there are 8 different routes, all tried and tested by the Ride Leader team.
People wanting to attend must text <redacted> on 07xxxxxxxxx no later than mid-day on Friday 14th August to confirm attendance.
<Redacted> will assign each attendee to a Ride Leader and notify you of your start time and meeting point.
<Redacted> will maintain a spreadsheet of who has done which route, to ensure that you are not assigned to the same route more than once.
It will not be possible to simply turn up on the day, as we have to limit the numbers in each group, so riders who have not pre-booked and been assigned a ride leader will not be able to ride with the group.
All riders must arrive in time for the briefing, anyone missing the briefing will not be allowed to join the ride. | |

I have a flip lid Bully.
My main argument is the absurdity of thinking that a sign that says "Remove your helmet" would act as a deterrent to an armed robber. Suspect anyone who uses to guns to rob garages isn't overly worried about ignoring such requests. | |

Well thats just the point. Someone being so impolite as to not accede to a reasonable request (and even if it wasnt reasonable- you are on their premises- so their rules...) has potential immediately to make others (customers or staff) wonder what might happen next.
Its not about a deterrent. | |

Some people just get off on telling others what to do...
I once crossed a crossing when the red man was flashing (was no traffic) - suspect that would upset a few on here :-) | |

Have I been 'vocal' about this? I think all I said was you should have to take the helmet off. It's not exactly too much to ask is it? |  |

I've never run into any issues, although have only been riding a year or so. I just flip my visor up and walk in. I'd happily take the lid off if requested but it becomes a bit of a juggling act with gloves, keys, helmet and trying to get card out. [Post edited 14 Jul 2020 12:53]

That would depend on whether you pressed the button knowing the road was empty first!
I hate people who press the thing then realise the road is clear and just walk across.
You drive up to the thing moments later and sit there staring at an empty crossing. |  |

You and Glassers both bet me £20 there would be a UsA UK trade deal in place within 6 months of Brexit.
Charity bet which I am happy to take as a donation for my Lands End to John O'Groats cycle ride although I think Glassers stipulated Islamic Aid (for refugees?)
