DANGEROUS???????

[BobA]

Your thoughts?

Would any of this cause you concern over your own safety if you saw someone driving with that attire?

Obviously, caravans used to get a bit of stick about causing hold ups, but with this ladies Mum on the road, looks like we may have new problems!!!


BBC News - Muslim Driving School: Driving with the veil

[Boris]

As long as she can see properly and the veil isn't obstructing her field of vision I can't see a problem.

[ukTiffy]

I'm more concerned about her offering a pray to protect her from accidents etc while reversing.





On seconds thoughts maybe that's not so different to me setting off on my @. I'm either praying that the plonker at the junction has seen me (while assuming he hasn't) or roundly curseing the ar****le when he pull's out on me.

[winxp-master]

doesnt seem to be hampering her vision in any way so i can't see a problem with it.

Funny though how people can't walk into a supermarket with a hoodie on but is perfectly legal to wear a burka that leaves only the eyes visible? madness...

Got to agree with them

[Yeti]

I'd go along with that too.

Doesn't seem to restrict her vision at all.

Also like that she is doing it for her and not the male members of the family. Makes a change. (although maybe she's just butt ugly ! )

I've refused to remove my helmet before after following a ninja through a petrol station check out! caused a few mumbles but what could they do!

[mad4it028]

dose she have to remove it to pay for fuel? like i do my helmit?

[Snaphappy]

No different in wearing that or some thick rimmed specs, her vision is not hampered, she can probably see better through that than I could with my old black visor Simpson Bandit

as for ID when refuelling, going to bank, shopping at tescos, dont start me off.

[Hotgloves]

I think the veil is ok, I'm far more concered about her mother being behing the wheel, I some times go to blackburn to see relatives.

[AlanH]

dose she have to remove it to pay for fuel? like i do my helmit?

I don't remove mine to pay for fuel. I do get into a few arguments but if they want to refuse payment when, in plain view of CCTV I've tried to give them cash, that's their problem and not mine. I just tell them to take the petrol back out if they don't want the money. Usually they give up

Of course, some won't turn the pump on - but I just pretend I can't hear the tannoy and eventually they just assume I'm thick and turn it on. Strange how people equate deaf with stupid.

Back to this one - she has perfect visibility so her headgear is fine. It's no different from wearing a balaclava - a point our local Morrisons security guard doesn't agree with
