None that I'm aware of, although theres probably one in the pipeline somewhere waiting to be passed. To be honest I think its a bloody good idea.

How can they tell if I am wearing a t-shirt under my leathers?

It may be in the pipe-line but most probably advised from her instructor - and just changed it abit - to it being a new law!


Or maybe he said it should be the law!

yer then i was on my cbt the guy said the government wants to change it so you have to wear more gear while riding (don't know wat exactly you need)

and he said they also want all helmets to have light base colours so all black helmets will be a no no if they get there way

I think that would be a great idea but it would be just another thing to get pulled for (loud can, small plate, stupid riding etc)

I never ride in T-shirt now but its a nice experience to try i think (use to when i was younger)

I just phoned the government up and the new law will say yellow helmets and orange clothes in spongy textile and no riding in the dark or wet without an umbrella

think the law your referring to is darwins law in which people stupid enough to ride in t shirts and shorts tend to fall off and die . this takes them out of the gene pool until eventually only people who realise how stupid it is are left and the problem no longer exists!
save your skin, wear a cows!

And the law means nothing at all if there is noone there to enforce it.

Did you know that if you ride at over 100mph with no helmet on you get off the bike with a perfect 1960's 'biker' style quiff? This must be where the trend originated.

The last time I got a new helmet there wasn't any white ones on sale.

I think that light colours are less visible than stronger ones, but I suppose it all depends on where you're riding

Hi

Not heard anything recently about any such proposed law. And can't say I would agree with anything like that.

There have been proposals in the past about forcing people to use approved protective gear, etc.

All the best

How can anyone possibly think it's a good idea? People should be free to do as they please, what gear you wear affects nobody else, so why should it be anyone else's choice as to what I wear?

Worrying views.

If u are treated by NHS and falling off wearing a t-shirt with no jacket causes you to need 5 pints of blood, a skin graft and 200 man hours for nurses and doctors.

U just cost someone other than yourself.

If u werent there someone else could have been, who needed that op or whatever

I sit on a number of Government bike committees, and I can assure you that making the wearing of protective clothing compulsory other than a protective helmet has never been on the agenda.

The Highway Code does adivse wearing a white helmet, but that is likely to change at the next re-write as it has been proven on numerous occasions that although lightly coloured, white is not always the best choice of colour.

I would imagine that your instructor was simply attempting to put the frightners on you to make you thing seriously about wearing the proper kit before you ride!
