    A ticket for not wearing eye protection.

    Was just over at the TL website and read a thread by a guy who pulled up at a set of lights and lifted his visor,lights change and he pulls away then flips his visor down only to see a set of disco lights in his mirror,pulls over and is issued a ticket for $100 reason,not wearing eye protection Hopefully those that decide our fate dont follow the rulemakers in the states eh.

    Looking different and walking strange has its benefits.

    Well that puts it in a bit more context. No different to any other wee traffic law, wear a seat belt etc. We sometimes don't do it & get caught out
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    No idea but the guy who posted the thread was from Florida.Did a search and it seems helmets are needed there as well.Just serves to highlight his dismay really,reckons he would have gone about 20 yards before flipping the visor down.

    Sounds a lot like the last ticket I got for not wearing a seat belt...


    "I just pulled out of the servo & hadn't quite got to the putting on of the seatbelt part just yet"
