The other thing I did was to take my gloves off, and I started to take my
helmet off, and simply never got that far, because we started discussing the
situation, and I immediately unlocked my glove box and took out my little
sheet regarding modulators being covered by FMVSS.... I mean perhaps he was
a bit more trusting of me because I had on my 1-piece Aerostich which is
hi-Viz lime yellow in color, plus a full face helmet that also has yellow in
it.
