    I got pulled up in Brissie in the '70's for wearing one of these while driving but all that happened was an intensive vehicle search for, quote "Substances & Utensils".
    Nothing found & the boys drove off laughing.

    Let me get this straight. This thread is about grown men who want to drive around wearing plastic toy helmets.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Not toys some of them - a good Stormtrooper helmet for cosplay can cost hundreds. Some take it very seriously. Who's to say wearing one whilst driving is any more daft than someone driving a series 1 wearing a pith helmet...

    (Which I saw just the other day and it suited the occasion well)
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    How many Parentes can you get for $35k?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    I am sure there are multiple people with tunnel vision or with poor peripheral vision that drive every day! Would that not be classified as obscured vision?
    Unfortunately we can argue these points for countless replys. Some rules are open to interpretation and it comes down to how we as road users interpret them and the police and lawyers that inforce them.

    Still a toy - for grown adults - regardless of how fancy and how much. I can't help thinking of what men of a similar age were up to during WWII. God help us.
