Is it legal to drive while wearing a niqab?

[Arch]

Precisely.

That said, I don’t believe you should not drive any vehicle on the road (Bicycles inc) whilst wearing anything that restricts your full vision, peripheral included.

I see hooded tops in cars, wrap around fleeces on bikes (like a big tube's around your face), snorkel parka's on scooters and full face helmets on bicycles.

All of them have a detrimental effect on peripheral vision and I don’t see how a niqab is any different.

Most of the niqabs I''ve seen (for real and on telly) are pretty close fitting to the face - the headscarf bit tucks tight round the head, and so moves with it. I'd say the peripheral vision would be better than that in a hood.

In fact, I've just recreated what I think of as a niqab with a pair of buffs, and my peripheral vision was no worse than it is when my hair's got a bit long.

So? You can prove anything with facts!

Do you actually bother to read other threads on this forum?

Only some of them.

Is this a statement that says "if you have not read all posts on this forum don't comment on any"

Or is it a statement that says "I mentioned a thread from the past, so unless you go and find that thread for yourself, you'll have to take my word for it, here ends the discussion"

"I find they cloud my judgement. I prefer to rely on instinct and blind prejudice"

Right, fair enough I s'pose. She still drove me wild with passion though.

Totally OT.... a friend of mine fell passionately in lust love with a oung lady he met in an operating theatre as she had the most amazing eyes. He invited her out and she accepted. Unfortunately the rest f her looks didn't match!

The ban on women driving in Saudi was lifted earlier this year...

"Allowing women to drive will only bring sin,"

How true
