Veiled up Muslim learning to drive

[Dedworth]

Just now whilst in the car I was stunned to see a fully veiled up Muslim (gender unknown) at the wheel of a L plated driving school car. The form was also wearing glasses. I've never seen this before and I have concerns now about being ploughed into by someone with an extremely restricted field of vision. Does anyone know if this is against the law ?

Can't see it restricting vision to be honest, would love to see the pic on the driving licence though :cwm25:

[Dedworth]

It impedes peripheral vision and imho should come under careless driving. They wouldn't get away with it in France :-

A French Muslim woman has been fined for wearing a full-face veil while driving a car.

Police in the western city of Nantes said the veil - which showed only her eyes - restricted her vision and could have caused an accident.

[imagine]

Yes, it must restrict the wide vision left and right, and when you're driving you need eyes in the back of your head.

I guess she could keep turning her head left to right, like a spectator for tennis :icon_lol:

I would have thought that when test day comes along the examiner will tell her to uncover her face:Erm:

[Dedworth]

Do we know it's a she/her ? :icon_lol:

So why doesn't Mrs May and co do something about it Ded? Just ban the veil. What's the problem?

Your pal Cherie Blair Andy hoovering up legal aid for human rights cases

[andy222]

That's a joke! :icon_lol: The truth is May and co are spineless. They have no problem cutting the pensions of the police and fire service but they can't ban the veil? :yikes:

Let's say if it were you or I clad like that while learning to drive then yes ... we'd [probably] be regarded as breaking the law ... :anerikke: ... but it seems these people are a law unto themselves in today's politically correct society! :icon_rolleyes:

[andy222]

Its easy to ban the veil Arthur. France did without a problem. Muslims still live there.

Your starter for 10 Andy - what did Labour do about banning the veil ?

[andy222]

Ah, the school kid in the playground tactics again Ded. (It wasn't me it was him). Your party is in power and they should deal with it. Maybe you should send an email to May and see how far you get. I will wait for the outcome.:laugher:

Just for once indulging in a spot of Punch 'n' Judy yah-booing like Joe & yourself Andy :icon_lol:

[andy222]

No, Ded :biggrin:. Just seeing what influence you have on May.:icon_lol:. 4 and a half years in power. More immigration, Bedroom Tax, people's pensions robbed and still a massive deficit and more cutbacks to come! And you think they will get in again. :laugher::laugher:

[andy222]

Come on Ded, why oppose it? Surely you have heard the saying, "Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves". :icon_lol:

The womens' libbers have gone quiet .

Obviously approve of women being 'chattels' controlled and dictated to by men. :anerikke:

The fact is, the (majority) people of this country have been so tied up in knots and gagged by the pc prats, that we and our country are now totally at the mercy of Islam and its followers. :mad:

[andy222]

I thought the government listened to the people :yikes:. Don't worry we can rely on Ded to sort it out with his influence. :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

Then there is the disgrace of the 'Halal' meat trade.

The government and the RSPCA are a disgrace for not stopping this !

Schools buy this meat because it is cheaper !


WARNING: This video is as graphic as they get, but this is REALITY ! :mad:
