(Check your local laws)Ī light smoke visor can be road legal, but one of those dark smoke visors that racers use wouldn’t be legal. You are risking breaking the law because it’s not road legal to use a tinted visor that allows through less than 50 percent of the outside transmission. So the final option is to switch between dark tinted visors and a clear visor depending on the daylight conditions. It will darken as the daylight gets brighter.
