He wears a patka. I thought he'd retired?

Hmmm. Police haven't even looked twice at me.

Hmm...
That's a good idea.
As is handing the copper "how to u-turn safely" leaflet
As is simply pulling a u-turn right in front of a motorcycle safety check point

(8) A person is not in breach of subclause (1) if the person proves that at the time of the commission of the alleged breach he or she was an adherent of the Sikh religion.

Well holy shit! (no pun intended) this is new to me.

As a couple of others have said i dont care about what religion someone follows, thats cool, but not wearing a helmet on the road? Sikhs can find a helmet to wear over their turbans surely?

How does one prove that they are following the 'Sikh religion'? Just wearing a turban?
I'm sure that if it wasn't law to wear a helmet there would be a lot of riders who wouldn't.

So now they have an excuse and say they have a religous belief that forbids them to wear a helmet.

They were there again/still in the afternoon.

A sergeant and two workers to stop four bikes?

Kevin's offsider thought my jacket was a bit light for riding gear and made the comment that since I owned better gear I should have been wearing it.

As has been discussed elsewhere on KB though, riding a moped in leather or BMW touring gear looks odd.

Yeah - but surely you don't think they were there ALL day...????

That was the morning 15 minutes..... 4 bikes, 1 legal, 3 not. Didn't hear about the afternoon session.... didn't want to....

Ahh! That was him. I know he'd had finger trouble and disappeared for a while. Lovely bowler.

The patka is for less traditional Sikh's - usually. Obviously it can be squished into a helmet so it's probably an example of leniency so that he can participate in the National Religion as well as being a Sikh.
