Irrespective of the restrictive vision, it can't be good to also have the ears covered as well, maybe with just the ears covered and the eyes totally unrestricted it may well compensate but for anybody to claim that their driving ability isn't restricted by wrapping cloth around their head with a only slit for vision is insane...or course it is.
I don't know what the law is in Britain concerning this, hopefully common sense prevails and its illegal, if this women wants to make a statement by wearing this mark of separation thats her choice, but if she wants to drive then dress sensibly, surely its simple common sense?
I wear glasses to drive because I'm very short sighted.However they could be said to cut down on my peripheral vision..and I choose to wear very large frames..could it be argued that wearing the present fashionable narrow frame glasses cut down even more peripheral vision..and where does one end with the banning of things?

We will be banning flat caps next...
