A motorbike helmet is meant to protect the rider from severe head injury, but if the visor is not correctly looked after by its owner it could cause a crash and this could mean that any other road users involved could claim compensation from the motorcyclist.
Scratches and grime on the visor could obstruct the rider's view of the road ahead, which severely hinders their safety and the safety of others since a helmet already restricts peripheral vision substantially.
A rider who is aware that their visor is scratched and dirty should clean it or buy a new one if their vision is still obstructed once the dirt has been wiped off.
The scratches and grime on a visor can become even more dangerous in low sun in the mornings or evenings, since the sunlight catches the imperfections and can make it difficult for the rider to see past them.
Similarly a windscreen on a vehicle such as a car or lorry can begin to obstruct a driver's view of the road if it becomes too scratched and dirty.
Both riders and drivers who do not replace their visor or windscreen when it is necessary for their own safety and the safety of others, may be found liable for any personal injuries caused in an accident.
Anyone on the roads in charge of a vehicle has a duty of care to any passengers and other road users to act in a safe and considerate way.
