    Hearing would be irrelevant as I can drive along with by CD player blasting, so thats out as a argument.

    I could wear a balaclava while driving.

    Looking like a plonker - unfortunately this is not illegal or comb-overs would be banned........ and muffin tops......... and .......
    I am not aware of any law which says that you can't wear headgear, such as a Hoody, Scarf, or helmet.

    When my mother in law wants to drive my car I always put my motorcycle helmet on. She then says "OK you drive"

    The dosey old battle axe thinks I'm joking. I'm not.

    Her motto should be "Keep Death off the Road. Drive on the pavements instead"

    Been there, done that. Wore the helmet.

    It's NOT illegal.
    Yes, quite right, I stand corrected, I wasn't thinking. Many, many stages of high-quality tarmac is covered at high speed by drivers that can actually DRIVE!


    Rally drivers are the best mentors.

    Rally drivers are on closed roads, looking predominately straight ahead and the vast majority (if not all) of them wear open-face lids.

    The windscreen shattered while driving a car a couple of years ago. Night time, drizzle, 100km left to Wellington.

    God was I glad I had my helmet an riding gear. All wrapped up and waterproof. BRILLIANT!
    To split or not to split, that is the question
