ON Sunday I visited a garage in your area and the attendant insisted that we remove our helmets, despite them being the ones used by the police which flip up so the entire face is visible.

Would you ask a lady with only her eyes showing to remove her veil, or a motorist wearing dark glasses? I think not.

Motorcyclists, you have been warned and petrol stations, please teach your staff some common sense.
