RE:is it legal to drive in the nude?

I agree that it's a bigger risk to drive with tinted windows than nude. I've gotten honks for nudity but a ticket in Chicago for driver side tinted windows, which I removed and my ticket was thrown out. If you sit high people see little but truck drivers seem to see everything. Good luck!

It is not illegal to drive nude in the state of Texas as long as you are not doing anything elicit or erotic or trying to draw attention to yourself. The auto is an extension of your home. Good idea, however, to make sure you have something handy to cover up with and make sure you don't break any driving laws or drive drunk.

Is this true? Can you or anyone else give me a web link where I can read about this.

Don't forget that in addition to the laws regarding driving nude in your area, you also need to know about court decisions that relate to those laws. Some of the decisions count as precedents, and they'll be taken into consideration during a new case.

My Camaro has darken windows on the side. But I always have a coat handy if I need to cover up.

RE:is it legal to drive in the nude?

Whenever I've driven nude (most recently on a trip from Tennessee back to Florida), I keep a pair of shorts at my feet so that I can easily slide them up if necessary. I've started to have some sciatica issues and there the waistband of shorts/pants hits is right where it starts to cause me problems. I found that if I lose the shorts or pants, I am pain free while I drive.

A friend and I have driven from Dallas to Austin and back naked before. On the way down there it was a bright and sunny late morning, of course we covered as we were near any high profile vehicles. It helped that we were in a SUV ourselves.

On the way home it was already dark out so neither of us ever bothered covering up when other vehicles were next to us.

Been to camp in Decatur and drove home to west Texas bare. If you have a pair of shorts handy on the floor, or sit on a towel you can use as a cover up fast if needed seems to work fine. Was at a friends one night and drove home this way. Had spilled on clothes so,they were sitting in passenger seat. Got stopped, cop,asked about towel and clothes said I didn't want to ruin seats of car and was less than a mile to house so...no warning, no ticket, just be safe ...got home fine. Was concerned that I had proper shoe size to drive though which was odd ..

I would have assumed that driving nude though you're in your own car, would still be considered being "out in public" and therefore a possible arrest, because of passing cars etc. But you all seem to think not (unless youre putting out lewd behavior) so I'd like to hope you are correct.

In response to nudeColby - I think you're correct about different states or jurisdictions and how local law enforcement / judges etc interpret that. A man driving nude on a highway on Cape Cod is very very likely not going to encounter a problem. A man driving nude on a highway in a small town in Alabama ...oh lordy.... there'd be hell to pay!
