its not a law over here just some petrol stations well alot of them make you take you helmet off before they will let you fill, stupid people last time i asked why and they said its because i may be under age i roll up on a bike and i may be under age how silly

 

There's a minimum age before you can operate a gas pump??? It's not like you're drinking it or something.

 

Hey - Oregon and New Jersey still don't allow you to pump your own gas, regardless.

I would guess that the helmet off thing (@ least in the US) would probably be more of a way for the security cameras to get a shot of your face if you decided to drive off w/o paying. Now that most gas stations require pre-pay, or pay at the pump, I guess it's not that big a deal to have essentially a "masked-man" pumping gas into a vehicle.

 

yes there is over here not sure what age though

 

Thats crazy talk...next they will tell you to stop smoking and douse your torch. What will those control freaks think of next?

 

I live in New Jersey and I always fill my own gas on my bike. Sometimes I take my lid off sometimes I don't.

 

I pay at the pump so I've never taken off my helmet. The one time I gassed up in Jersey, the guy let me pump my own gas. Might have been cause I told him I'd react poorly to gas spilled on my tank.

 

i think but i may be wrong that you have to be 18 to use the pumps which is stupid, i wonder what 16 year olds do on there scooters
