Knowing how yuck it is to put a helmet on over wet hair, why would you suggest it should be illegal for a biker to keep their helmet on in the rain while they're walking up the road to their destination?
Similarly on a cold windy day, why should it be illegal to protect your face with a scarf?
On halloween, why should it be illegal to go out unless you're showing your face?
Fancy dress party? Best not turn up in that gorilla suit

That's the main point here, there's a difference between practical and being forced. That's one aspect of why a lot of countries have brought in the rules and why the rules seem to have the "husbands forcing their wives to wear" clause inthem.
As far as my motorcycle comments if you actually read what I typed there are alternatives for motorcyclists such as flip helmets..
You seem to think it's a case of ONLY one rule to fit all so there's not much point in arguing with you especially when we motorcyclists or even a person in the cold does have other options unlike these burkha wearers..
