Queensland it's a fine of I think $340 and 3 points, the police class it as a helmet that doesn't meet Australian standard, something to do with the integrity of the outer shell, therefor you will be fined for having no helmet on, so many laws suck,

Fight it if you get pinged. Or at least ask for a review. Talk to MRAQ or AMC. Their "law" is a bizarre and rather opportunistic interpretation of Australian Standards that would also make bluetooth communication things illegal.

agree 100%. Qld is the epitome of ridiculous laws when it comes to motorcycles and this is one of them. I would love to hear how a sticker could affect the structural integrity of the outer shell of any helmet......FFS what a load of fucking cobblers that is.

For starters the outer shell is protected by a clear coat of a substantial number of microns thick, which the adhesive used in GoPro attachments etc - does not have the ability to damage or destroy. Take a sticker off, clean off the residue and what are you left with ? An outer protective clear coat that has done its job and not been affected in any way by the adhesive.

I shoulda been a lawyer.

Apparently the glue can affect the strength of the shell, so can paint and other solvents, firstly I think it's just to cover there ass through warranty of the helmet, when you think about it, I'm pretty sure they use a SOLVENT to clean the helmet before they PAINT it and then stick a Australian standard STICKER on it, so in theory we all should be wearing plain unpainted helmets with no Australian standard stickers,
