    knowing the guards they'd ask if you have a license for those genitals.

    Only if someone is sucking you off at the same time is it illegal

    I doubt it. I don't think it's illegal to go about your daily business in the nip. It's how we are meant to be.

    Public indecency, I'd expect.

    Although, the Gardai would probably assume you were merely shirtless (male). They wouldn't see South of Border.

    Perhaps you should try it out.... and revert back with your data. Better avoid residential areas and schools.

    your're a taxi driver arent you?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    It's illegal if someone can see your naughty bits. Indecent exposure and all that.

    Was that you i seen in Cork???

    I suppose you'd need to cover up a bit
    If you got into accident you might need to cover up
    The Public Order Act (1994) provides for offensive conduct in public to be dealt with on a summary basis, with fines reaching up to a maximum of €500.

    However, indecent exposure can also be dealt with under Section 18 of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act (1990), which replaced the old public indecency offence.

    Under Section 18, "any person who commits, in public, any act in such a way as to offend modesty or cause scandal or injure the morals of the community shall be guilty . . . the person may receive a fine of up to €634.87 or, if the court decides, they may be sent to prison for up to six months"

    I've driven without shoes before. It's actually fine. I might even prefer it if wasn't inconvenient to take them off.

    Id be in my car minding my own business..they shouldnt be looking


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I got into a bad habit of driving in my bare feet, because I wore a lot of heels and couldn't drive in heels. Anyway, one time I got pulled over for speeding and had to get out of the car. Guard asked me where my shoes were, and told me in future to get sensible shoes to drive in. So maybe you're ok driving nude as long as you have shoes on

    Explain that to the judge after You stopped at traffic lights and a little old lady has a peak. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,685 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    They were able to have naked cycling days around various cities to raise awareness for cyclist visibility on the roads. WNBR. And on a bike there'd be a bit more public exposure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭Bonzo Delaney


    A few years ago a mate and myself were roofing a house had to be finished that day. We got bloody soaked to the bone in the rain we worked through and got finished about 3pm so getting in to the van we striped down to our boxers in to the van and off home as we were stopped at the lights out side the secondary girls school at finishing time we quickly realised that it wasn't the best idea we ever had by the amount of dirty looks we got of parents thankfully there were no guards around.

    Jaysus, if any of the women cyclists were in the nip, and were going fairly quick, you'd hear them first. You'd be wondering what that loud whistling noise was

    So there I was, driving on the motorway butt naked, cock out and I'm rubbing butter and jam on my boner, listening to Bon Jovi with the roof down!

    I pull up to the lights and this old woman pulls up beside me and starts staring at me with her mouth open and takes out her phone out to I assume call her friends down the bridge club!?

    So I want to know do I report that old pervert or just leave her be?

    The whole concept of cycling naked sounds extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention the epic road rash if you came off your bike.

    I know an idiot who drove through a red light and wrote off two cars and then tried to blame the other motorist , a "lady person" saying it was her fault cause she was driving in her bare feet.

    Gardai eventually told him to fcuk off saying it's not an offence to drive in bare feet.

    All well and good driving naked (can't believe I just said that) but what about getting IN and OUT of the car...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭FREDNISMO


    some say he looked like the stig but his helmet was the wrong colour

    Or getting petrol.

    Surely one could simply remove their clothes in the car and put them back on prior to leaving the car?

    I had to drive home wrapped in a blanket once after a (not so) humourous falling into a river episode. The passenger had to hold the blanket together at the side as it all started to slip when I changed gears. Was torn between driving really fast to get home as soon as possible, versus keeping to the speed limit to not draw attention to the situation.

    i'd never buy a car of you

    Why do you have to be completely naked. I'm sure if you had a least something on like a thong or a belt nobody would mind.

    surely if you get knocked off your bike you get paid holidays and sue the driver for compen=fcuking-sation

    It would have to be a moped for me. I'm a gentleman. I would insist the lady wear my helmet.

    As long as you don't put your dick out the window to use it as an indicater you will probably be OK

    Well you would want to be careful getting in and out not to catch anything in the door

    Well the story is clearly not true as there are no traffic lights on motorways.

    Do you have to wear shoes when driving in Ireland? My footwear of choice is flip flops and when I drive, I take them off. Is that illegal?
