Why?

Been to fill up at my local Asda petrol station, I always fill up while still sat on the bike and never remove my helmet this has never been a problem in the past but as i go to pay the kiosk attendant said new policy has just come in and all bikers must remove helmets and must get off their bikes to refuel . Although its a pain I can understand the helmet removal policy but getting off the bike to refuel? thats a new one on me! So after saying no problem there is plenty of other service stations to choose from he said he wouldn't personally implement the policy but some others might, Its all just a load of Boll cks! Surely if a bike only has a side stand there is a greater risk of fuel spillage so i can't see the reasoning behind the policy

I had the same issue with Morrisons will never shop or buy fuel off um again.I could go on as its one rule for us and ,,,,,,,,,,,well you get the jist,,,,,,

But why get off the bike Gaz? the 3 seconds it takes to get on the bike and ride off without paying (if thats the reasoning) seems a bit of a ridiculous policy to me.

He probably being a tw@t today an took it out on you. was the policy posted up anywhere so you could see it, I used to just put me helmet just on the top of me head never ad a problem like this, they just want the camera to look at your face coz you aint got a number plate on the front of the bike, next time go in your car with your crash helmet on and see what he says

I've heard of the bike one before, they state health and safety as some eeegit spilled petrol while sat on his bike filling up somewhere, might have been a fire but cant remember, still stupid if you ask me, I wonder if pillions have to get off??

so why dont all passengers in cars have to get out when they fill up just in case the car catches fire.

To be honest I think ive only ever had to remove my helmet once or twice when filling up

I've got a flip up helmet, but can't understand whenever I flip it up I get asked to put It back down
