Driving topless ; )

[PinkFizz]

Is it illegal to drive a vehicle whilst topless??

I obviously mean ladies,as you often see men with no t shirt driving in summer.

Just wondered. ; )

[mrrobbo15]

no....its fine.............by me anyway hehe

[PinkFizz]

Lol - would love to know what you would get charged with if it was illegal!!

In the UK there is a law in existence which bans acts of indecency in public, and this includes women going topless.

Women are however, allowed to show their breasts in public if it is deemed to be part of a legitimate political protest at the laws that ban them from showing their breasts. Sound bizarre? That's the law for you!

Not in Denmark though....

God the law is wierd!!

Hi Ray - yes indeedy I have very large airbags!!

I guess you could always argue that you were hot!

[Manda37]

It is not illegal, unless somebody else is offended or finds your actions offensive..........then i'm afraid you will be committing an offence of public indecency.

Sorry to be pandantic, but manda37 is a little wrong. there are 5 laws I can think of that will cover it

1) Under Sexual Offences Act, Yes, somebody has to be offended but nobody has to be there to be offended, if that makes sense.

For example, a police officer could arrest you on the supposition that somebody could be offended and it is best practice for an "offendee" to be present, but not legally necessary.

2) Other laws that could be used, Public Order. However, sect 5 (displaying anything that will cause alarm, harassment or distress), you should be warned first to cover up. Then no offence.

sect 4 (public order) no warning is necessary but you will have to "intend" to cause harassment alarm or distress.

Common law "Public Nuisnace", being a pain in the ar5e basically

and "Furious Driving", driving in a manner likely ti infuriate other road users.

The law may have changed since I read it, but as the greatest criminal mind on AB, I will leave it to you.

Just admit it Wardy - you want me to drive topless dont you!! ; )

[sophie_1003]

Why are men allowed to show their chests but not women, I mean breasts aren't actually a sexual thing so why do they need to be covered up?
