Mandatory crossdressing - for safety.

[Stephanie Miller]

In the name of safety - I'm thinking it should be mandatory to crossdress!
Let me explain. Driving down the interstate after an afternoon of shoe shopping Sunday :dance:, there was a sudden flash directed at the car that had just passed me. The poor sucker was the latest recipient of a camera radar speeding ticket. (How much I disagree with their existence is best left out, or I'll get carried off subject). Just what does a speeding ticket have to do with dressing? Well, if you were not totally "out" and had taken a short discreet drive for fun when out of nowhere - FLASH -.... In about 1 week there would have been a ticket WITH FULL FACE PHOTO sent via postal to your house. Now, wouldn't you just love to explain to your wife or S.O. just who that woman was driving your car when they open the mail before you did?
So, I know it's a long winded way of getting to my question..... but.... Does being a CD improve your driving? Come on... admit it, do take more care driving because you don't want to get stopped while en femme?

[jenifer m.]

you are 100% right! im a voulenteer for the sheriffs office as it is,and most of the deputys know me,so knowing how things around here work id problably be on the news. so i go out of my city as often as i can,and i drive like a saint when wearing girly stuff.i just dont need to invite aggravation to my life any more.

[JustWendy]

Years ago, I used to make the early morning commute to work in skirt and heels and may have been the only driver on the NJ interstates who was obeying the speed limit. And the thought did cross my mind that I may have been saving my life by crossdressing.

Wendy

[sherri52]

Years ago I did the same thing. While driving enfemme I was more likely to drive slower and obey all the rules in fear of getting caught. Now I'm older and I mostly obey all the rules anyway for fear of being called senile and losing my license alltogether.

[nikkijo]

if your convincing the ticket gets dropped.... because they no longer have burden of proof that it was the registered owner driving the car so while you may have to explain things on the home front, but a gruff photo of you versus the little mrs driving, is enough to get things dropped :)

[Midnight Skye]

My driving doesn't get one iota better. If nothing else it gets much worse because I keep playing with my hair. As for getting picked up... not worried at all... but that's cause I'm a slowpoke. I've only been pulled once and that was for running a college campus stopsign... darn rent-a-cops!

[Aleca]

I usually become too paranoid about making a mistake driving and I know that if I worry too much that can cause me to make mistakes, especially if a patrol car is behind me or in front of me.

[Stephanie Miller]

Sure nikkijo, it does indeed get dropped. But before it gets dropped they still mail it out (hello again wife and S.O.). And who is to say it is a camera whos radar beam hits you? What about the actual radar cops? Anybody need the embaressment?

[GwenPH]

I can agree that while "dressed" or as close as I have gotten (skirt and heels). I am EXTRA cautious while driving to avoid any problems. Most likely the camera wouldn't out me...but being in a fender bender could result in a big problem, since I'm in male mode from the waist up.

[TNRobin]

I had never given that any thought, but then I've honestly never driven when I was dressed. Reason being that my SO does the driving since she has a car. I have a Jeep and am in a wheelchair, so to get it I go in feet first, hiking my legs up and with a skirt now anyone that has the urge can look up my skirt if they glance my way from the front of the Jeep.

Now, on the 10th that's changing as I'm going out for a GNO with some people that I've never met and my SO won't be with me. I'm gunna' have to give this some thought. Somehow getting pulled over en femme would be terribly embarassing, and annoying if I had to take anything off to prove who I am. In TN and in CO, unlike TX, you can't have 2 state issued IDs, so you can't have one en femme and one in guy mode. Kinda' sucks.:Angry3:

[Emily01]

my driving is always better when dressed, i've no interest in explaining anything to anyone on their time-frame rather than my own.....cops, EMT's, spouse, judges, emergency room personnel......the list goes on. just don't need that anxiety and stress. btw, you looked great with Stef!

[JenniferRose]

My driving is better while dressed then when I am not, on the other hand I have wondered how the officer would take it if I stoped while dressed lol

[Christina Horton]

My driving is better. Not cuz I'm worried about being pulled over or what not. I think it would be neat to be pulled over dressed. I love new experinces. I drive better cuz I.... I guess since I'm in girl mode have not " need for speed ". Witch is hard cuz I drive a 80 corvette sport car. I am out to every one I care about , I have no girl friend or wife. Even if I dis she would know ans have to be ok with my CDing. So for me I get better gas miledge en-fem and just enjoy driving much more.

Oh if you get a ticy for speeding or something look over it carefully , if there is one misstake you can get it throne out. I've done it. So cool to beat the tickiet.

[Ashley S]

I've never really driven anything en femme, but for the last few years I've been driving between 40,000 and 60,000 km a year, and despite being a young male with a sports-truck, I obey all traffic laws and generally only speed by doing the "Socially Accepted" speed of 10km over the posted limit, except for school zones and construction zones, where you go dead slow for added safety.

Reckless drivers irritate me. I try to drive safely and confidently, so I'm not contributing to the problem.

*FWIW: The traffic law here says that if you're doing less than 16km over the posted limit, it's a $50 fine and no points, unless you're in a school zone or construction zones, then it's $100. I've never gotten one tho.

[Solarhawk]

I drive the same whether I'm dressed or not, but then again, I consider myself one of the safer drivers around... small things like looking again to the sides once you back up out of a parking spot to see, silly things like turn signals, and watching cross traffic. I'm not on the road for a thrill, I'm there for a purpose. Whether that purpose is to go to/from work, or shopping, I still prefer to get there safely; if I want to have a thrill ride, I'll let someone else drive (why are all my friends absolute nutcases behind the wheel???).

Jesse

[Fran Moore]

If it should be "mandatory" to crossdress while driving, but I would certainly agree that I am more cautious while out driving as Suzanne, not just for the "candid camera", but just for being pulled over in general and having to explain the obvious. To add to that, how many have noticed that many women drive with "two hands on the wheel", at the ten and two position, vs many men, who tend to drive one handed.

Of course, that's not to say that we all haven't witnessed women applying makeup while in traffic as well!:) In my opinion, cell phones are probably the worst form of distraction for all genders!

Suzanne

[Ashley S]

To add to that, how many have noticed that many women drive with "two hands on the wheel", at the ten and two position, vs many men, who tend to drive one handed.

Suzanne

That reminded me of a drivers test I did one time where the driving instructor did not know how to drive manual, (I drive manual) and was constantly telling me "Both hands on the wheel!", and didn't seem to understand that you can't just keep up with traffic and NOT shift gears through bends in the highway, etc. She also really didn't seem to like the way manual drivers come to a stop with one hand on the wheel and one on the gear shift.

Sorry to get off topic, I spend a significant amount of time driving with one hand because of the manual transmission, and that habit carries over when I drive automatics. Except for the obvious times where you need the control/response, then it's nine-and-three, and keep your thumbs up (It keeps them clear of the spokes).

[nikkijo]

Sure nikkijo, it does indeed get dropped. But before it gets dropped they still mail it out (hello again wife and S.O.). And who is to say it is a camera whos radar beam hits you? What about the actual radar cops? Anybody need the embaressment?


the reason they mail the ticket is because they dont engauge you, the officer is only there to whitness the photos being taken so there for if you are convincingly a woman it is going to fail and they will even give an apology... as i said the drama is relegated to only at home.. and that is controlled by not allowing others to open your mail... afterall that is actually a felony offence to open other peoples mail....

[BillieJoe]

Oh Stephanie, I am so much more careful of my driving while out 'enfemme'. I'll check all my lights, etc. a few times while out just to make sure I don't get some kind of lighting violation. (They check that very closely around here). I also don't go 1 mph over the speed limit.
A few years ago after working third shift I was dressed and driving around Milwaukee and dozed off a bit and almost had a bad accident at an intersection in the downtown area. I learned my lesson from that and vowed to myself I would be much more careful after that.

[Melinda G]

Yep, going to court in your best guy mode, toting the photo, would get the ticket thrown out for sure.

By the way, in Indiana they have a new law with a $1000 fine for construction zone tickets.
Also many communities have been shortening the yellow light timing, to generate more red light camera tickets. It was on the news.

[Mitzi]

I've always been an inattentive driver, on autopilot, if you will. A bit more careful en femme, but after a few minor fender benders, once dressed, I've become the proverbial little old lady driver, quietly cursing those reckless drivers who insist on passing me from all directions...

Here in California, cops are professional when making traffic stops, and how one is dressed is not an issue. I got stopped (and issued a citation) in Los Angeles once. There were two officers, both very polite and factual. After issuing the ticket, one of the officers came back to me and asked..."Are those your real nails?"

Mitzi

[Stephanie Miller]

I have to agree with you Christina. I know that a lot of my slower driving is because of a more laid back feeling I get as Stephanie.

That is another point to this Suzanne. I tried once to put on mascara while driving. Not only did I poke my eye several times, but also there were so many streaks going down my cheeks it looked like I just got out of a KISS concert. I don’t know how the hell they do it.

Nikkijo, nikkijo, nikkijo :doh:……. Remember each state is different. Down here in Arizona we have several types of cameras. Some are vans that are parked at random spots along the highway sides and left unattended as well as attended. There are cameras (see photo) that are on stationary poles at spots along the freeway as well as at street corners. The corner cameras not only tag you for speed, but also if you run a red light. AT NO TIME does an officer engage you. All tickets are mailed. After a period of no response then and only then does the state send out a court server to serve you a notice of citation.
As for the mail……After you are married for 34 years in a relationship as open as mine, tell me about others opening mail. Or maybe there is never the open mail on the counter when a neighbor drops by. You have never had someone open an envelope by "mistake"? Stuff happens, and that’s all I’m trying to get across.

[Kerigirl2009]

Ok stephanie what if they mail it to your SO because they notice it was a woman driving and she is listed as one of the owners. Explain that one to her. LOL
And Nikkijo it is not really a felony to open mail that was delivered to your mailbox by the postman. (or woman) of it was delivered to you it is technically yours, I learned that in my legal studies class. Although it is a felony to go into someone else box and open their mail. because it was not delivered to you.
And Ashley S I wish the tickets here where that cheap. Lets just say that I went almost 12 years without even being pulled over (typically 5mph over the speed limit) and with in 4 months I was pulled over and ticketed for 62mph in a 55 mph zine at 1am in the morning and NO ONE drove by while he wrote me a ticket wich cost me $139, then a ticket for rolling through a stopsign $129, then I got a ticket i deserved what can I say I was in a hurry. now three years later I got pulled over for touching a white line while merging on a highway just a warning, but the seatbelt ticket cost me $113. All of these and I was dressed as a guy but I bet if I had breasts I would have gotten out of all of them but the one I deserved. :heehee:

[Hope]

All tickets are mailed. After a period of no response then and only then does the state send out a court server to serve you a notice of citation.

Don't ask how I know this, but they don't often send out the process server. At least they didn't use to... It used to be that you could ignore several of those blasted tickets before they sent out the server... provided of course that you ignored them, and didn't sign them and send them back like you are supposed to. Ahem, not that I have ANY experience with this. Ahem.

[gabimartini]

Check! Not only I drive more carefully, but I also drive much slower when en femme! Guess I go slower because I want to take longer to get to my destination, hence lengthening my femme outing... lol.

[Rogina B]

And,I still get pulled over..Usually just a warning for something on my diesel truck to fix.However,Rogina has gotten ticketed and that is expensive anywhere. Wish I was in the FRONT seat of the police car the other night when the officer pulled up my license pic and up came Rogina's face[state ID pic was the last one taken]..the look on his face was probably priceless and the time before another asked for my middle name as"the pic didn't quite match me[that day] lol. Just drive carefully in your heels Girls, as they can slip off the pedals!:D

[Tina B.]

In the name of safety - I'm thinking it should be mandatory to crossdress!

Stephanie, that won't work! I can see it now, wife" look at this ticket, who is that woman" Husband, What woman, you know it's the law to dress like that while I'm driving!" Husband, oh, by the way, I will be back in a couple of hours, I need to run to the store, and I need two hours to get ready to go, be back in about 2 1/2 hours, love you"
So as you can see the only that would do is make all of us in the closet want to drive more, then you have more cars on the road, so more accidents, and tickets.
Tina

[Charona]

It isn't exactly on the topic of crossdressing, but... I heard years ago that Germany used some of the automatic traffic cameras for traffic violations. The camera took a photo of the car, showing the license plate along with the occupant(s) of the car, the date, time, place, and type of violation. The ticket would then be mailed to registered owner of the car. Every so often the ticket would arrive at the house, the hausfrau would open the envelope, and discover a photo of her husband with another woman in the car.

[Jamie48]

I drive the speed limits no matter what mode I am in. Tickets make your insurance rate go up & I already pay to much for it. Why give the insurance company an excuse to jack your rates up. Be safe & enjoy driving, I do.

[Stephanie Miller]

I think it's still on topic Charona. You may use an example from Germany years ago, but let me inform you - it's happening today in Arizona! Here is a copy of the citation that is sent to the registered owner (as Kerigirl correctly stated). It has a picture of the driver (now tell me how come these pictures are good enough to let you know your mascara was smudged, but the damn cameras in the banks take pictures of the holdup men that make them look like out of focus gorilas?) There is a space on the ticket that states " If this is not you, please fill in name of offender, if known." (or something close to it). Side note: Spouses are not legaly bound to rat on thier partners. As I said... it has a picture of the driver, license plate number, date, time, weather and registered owners info.
So if you're driving doesn't improve because your crossdressed, then you better make sure you fix your hair! And smile for the camera! :D

[sissystephanie]

The Radar camera shows the car and license plate but rarely the driver. The camera is too far away from the car to pick up a clear picture of the driver. And I bet that is true everywhere! The state does not care who was driving the car! All the State cares about is that driving laws were violated.

So this whole discussion is really a non-problem!! And by the way, unless the camera is not operating correctly they do not make a bright flash!!

[victoriamwilliams1]

To answer the question! I drive like a woman when in girl mode and I drive better.

Now the photo ticket thing for Michigan it is illegal for cities to have cameras for traffic control. :)

[KandisTX]

These bloody cameras are a source of a lot of contention here in Houston as well. They recently (within last 3 years) installed "red light cameras". It turns out that the tickets are a civil case and not criminal as the criminal moving violation tickets must be personally given to you by the police officer. Now, here in TX, a ticket from these cameras costs $75.00 whereas in California my father had to pay $400.00 for his ticket.

The red light cameras only get a picture of the back of the vehicle and the license plate. These photos do NOT include a shot of the driver as they are taken from the right rear side of the vehicle so it is very hard for them to prove who was driving the vehicle.

Yes, the cameras do make a bright flash when operating, especially at night those flashes are QUITE distinctive. (That's how I knew I was busted by one of them).

Kandis:love::rose2:

[Stephanie Miller]

I have to correct you SissyStephanie.... If for no other reason than to protect drivers in AZ from wrong info.

1) "The Radar camera shows the car and license plate but rarely the driver."
Actually if you look at the picture in an earlier post of mine, you will see an actual citation. With BOTH license plate AND photo. They are ALL presented this way here.
2) " The camera is too far away from the car to pick up a clear picture of the driver. And I bet that is true everywhere!" Again see picture above. And remember the photo is even more blurry because of scanning and copy for computer use. The ARE relativley good. Taken by an 8 meg camera.
3) "The state does not care who was driving the car! All the State cares about is that driving laws were violated. " Nope. Wrong again. At least Arizona is a state that has a driver-responsibility law, like Colorado, California and Oregon. That distinction means DPS has to match the photo of the speeder with one on a driver's license.

So, as you can see, depending on what state you're in it CAN BE a problem!!

And last... 4) "And by the way, unless the camera is not operating correctly they do not make a bright flash!!" The company that is under contract here in Arizona has two types of cameras working patrol. Flash and infrared. Redflex is the company. You are welcome to look it up.

Not bad - 4 for 4 :heehee:

So, again........ Make sure your make-up is fixed before speeding!!! :D

[SherriePall]

When dressed I drive very carefully and with two hands on the wheel. When drab I drive carefully with one hand on the wheel.

[DonnaT]

I drive a little better. Meaning if there's speeding going on (and there always is around here) I make sure there are others going faster than me ;)

[shadyterri]

For me Stephanie, driving while dressed, I definitely bend over backwards (no pun intended) to obey ALL traffic laws. I am certain I would be quite embarrassed if picked up. But on the other hand I sometimes wonder how I would actually react. I suppose also it would depend on how understanding the cop is. But I do not think it would be worth taking the chance. So I will continue driving safely when dressed.

[kimdl93]

I am a pretty careful driver, dressed or not, but I probably am less likely to succumb to road rage in Houston traffic when I'm dressed!

[joann07]

They've started implementing red light camera's here in Florida.
Fortunately, they only take a picture of the rear license plate since a front plate is not required and so there's no chance the photo of the driver will appear.

Me, I try to drive conservatively when I'm dressed, but sometimes my guy side comes out. Unfortunately, impatience is one of my worst habits while driving, but I have been trying real hard to break it.

Hugs!

[carolinewalker_2000]

Absolutely!!!!! I drive SO carefully when dressed.

[EnglishRose]

Driving in heels? Never a good idea.

[Sarah Doepner]

I try to drive more carefully, but usually I've taken so long to get ready I have to drive faster. I can't be late you know.

[Tina B.]

I drive a little better. Meaning if there's speeding going on (and there always is around here) I make sure there are others going faster than me ;)

Bad idea Donna, when a group of cars are speeding, and a policeman comes upon them, its the slowest one (last in the group, that is sure to be pulled over.
Seems to be a a big difference between states that require a front license plate and those that don't. In California you don't want to run one of those lights with a camera, it takes to much out of the shopping budget.

I don't normally cut and paste in here. but this is totally relevant to this thread.

6 Cities That Were Caught Shortening Yellow Light Times For Profit
March 26th, 2008 Posted in Red-Light Cameras, Yellow Light Duration

Short yellow light times at intersections have been shown to increase the number of traffic violations and accidents. Conversely, increasing the yellow light duration can dramatically reduce red-light violations at an intersection.

Some local governments have ignored the safety benefit of increasing the yellow light time and decided to install red-light cameras, shorten the yellow light duration, and collect the profits instead.

Here are some of the cities that have been caught with short yellow light times over the past few years:

Important note: These news stories were collected from the archives of TheNewspaper.com, an excellent resource for anyone interested in traffic laws and other motorist issues. If you subscribe to TheNewspaper.com’s feed, you’ll never miss the latest news. It makes an excellent complement to this blog.

1) Chattanooga, Tennessee
The city of Chattanooga was forced refund $8800 in red light cameras tickets issued to motorists trapped by an illegally short yellow time. The refund only occurred after a motorist challenged his citation by insisting that the yellow light time of 3.0 seconds was too short. LaserCraft, the private vendor that runs the camera program in return for a cut of the profits, provided the judge with a computer database that asserted the yellow was 3.8 seconds at that location.

The judge then personally checked the intersection in question was timed at three seconds while other nearby locations had about four seconds of yellow warning. City traffic engineer John Van Winkle told Bean that “a mix up with the turn arrow” was responsible and that the bare minimum for the light should be 3.9 seconds.

2) Dallas, TexasAn investigation by KDFW-TV, a local TV station, found that of the ten cameras that issued the greatest number of tickets in the city, seven were located at intersections where the yellow duration is shorter than the bare minimum recommended by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

The city’s second highest revenue producing camera, for example, was located at the intersection of Greenville Avenue and Mockingbird Lane. It issued 9407 tickets worth $705,525 between January 1 and August 31, 2007. At the intersections on Greenville Avenue leading up to the camera intersection, however, yellows are at least 3.5 or 4.0 seconds in duration, but the ticket-producing intersection’s yellow stands at just 3.15 seconds. That is 0.35 seconds shorter than TxDOT’s recommended bare minimum. Dallas likewise installed the cameras at locations with existing short yellow times. A total of twenty-one camera intersections in Dallas had yellow times below TxDOT’s bare minimum recommended amount.

The ticket camera program in Dallas made the news recently for shutting down some of its cameras because they were no longer profitable.

3) Springfield, Missouri
The city of Springfield, Missouri prepared for the installation of a red light camera system in 2007 by slashing the yellow warning time by one second at 105 state-owned intersection signals across the city.

The city defended its effort to the Springfield News-Leader by claiming it was “standardizing” and had increased the yellow time at 136 city-operated lights to meet national standards. During the city council meeting last October where the red light camera ordinance was approved, however, Assistant Director of Public Works Earl Newman gave a different explanation for the reduction. Newman said he was, “concerned that many individuals run the light if the light remained yellow too long.”

Read the Full Story

4) Lubbock, Texas
KBCD, a local television station, exposed the city’s short timing of yellow lights at eight of the twelve intersections where the devices were to be installed.

Prior to the news investigation, Lubbock City Engineer Jere Hart assured city council members that he would not increase yellow times. According to the city council’s traffic commission minutes of September 19, 2006, Jere said, “if [the red light camera program is] implemented, the public would prefer to have an increased amber cycle,” but he stated that, “the program will not adjust the amber/yellow time.”

Shortly after the investigation became public, red-light cameras were installed in Lubbock. However, after they proved to be both unprofitable (due in part to a new state law giving 50% of the ticket camera profit to the state) and unsafe (accidents increased where the cameras were installed), they were taken down.

Read the Full Story

5)Nashville, TennesseeEven without red light cameras, police in Nashville, Tennessee have been earning hundreds of thousands in revenue by trapping motorists in conventional ticket traps at city intersections with the shortest yellow warning time.

In 2006, Nashville resident Joe Savage obtained the data on every red light running ticket issued on Broadway street since 2000. He said that yellow lights are longer at intersections along Broadway until the areas where police are issuing tickets. At those locations, Savage clocked the yellow signal time at less than 3 seconds, in violation of both state law and federal regulations. A local newspaper, The Nashville Scene, then confirmed his findings.

Read the Full Story

6) Union City, California
In 2005, Union City, California was caught trapping motorists with a yellow signal time 1.3 seconds below the minimum established by state law. As a result, the city was forced to refund more than $1 million in red light camera fines.

The city’s violation came to light after Dave Goodson, an engineer, received a ticket and realized that he did not have sufficient time to stop before the light had turned red. As a result of his inquiries, Union City’s traffic engineers admitted that they had set the yellow signal time at Union City Boulevard and Lowry Road at 3 seconds, despite the state law mandating the time be 4.3 seconds or greater.

Authorities said that the yellow was too short long before the cameras were installed, but that no effective system was in place to verify the timing of the traffic signals despite their direct impact on safety.

Read the Full Story

Closing Notes:
These are only the cities that have been caught; it’s likely that this happens much more than the general public has been led to believe. Many cities avoid the bad publicity involved with shortening yellow lights by installing the cameras at intersections with inadequate yellow light times from the beginning.

If you or a family member receive an unjustified red-light violation ticket, it may be worth your time to check the yellow light duration at the intersection where the ticket was given out.

Also, if you know of any city currently shortening yellow lights in your area, let everyone know by posting it the comments of this post.

[marcy77]

Yes, it does help to CD in the car because you are a little extra careful. But I always drive safely in my car. I don't want to get pulled over for ANYTHING and I don't want to get a ticket for ANY AMOUNT. A 10 dollar parking ticket is too much for me. That's a new shade of lipstick I could be buying with that money!!! Everyone should drive safely ALL the time. If you're going to be late for work. BE LATE. Accept that you didn't get up on time and say you're sorry to your boss. Don't make it my problem as well.

As far as making crossdressing mandatory. I say that would be a great idea! Not so much for driving but for society as a whole. What would the world be like if every Wednesday every man had to dress up in womens clothes for work?:daydreaming:

[sandra-leigh]

Here, the procedure for the photo-radar and red-light cameras is that the car owner is sent the ticket, which is set at about 3 times the price of a personally-issued ticket, with the trade off that no points will be deducted from the licence of the car owner due to not having proof that the owner was the driver. The owner is, in law, responsible for the use of the car, so the law here is authorized to fine the owner even if the owner was not driving, but the law here can only deduct points from individuals proved to be responsible.

Getting caught by red light camera is something like $C 350 here.


To answer the original question: I don't drive motor vehicles. I have, though, been known to bicycle in a skirt or dress, in which case I am likely to be biking more slowly for fear of getting the skirt or dress caught in the chain. But I can't really say that I'm biking more safely, since I often have to use one hand to prevent the garment from flying up immodestly.

[Bootsiegalore]

In about 1 week there would have been a ticket WITH FULL FACE PHOTO sent via postal to your house. Now, wouldn't you just love to explain to your wife or S.O. just who that woman was driving your car when they open the mail before you did?
So, I know it's a long winded way of getting to my question..... but.... Does being a CD improve your driving? Come on... admit it, do take more care driving because you don't want to get stopped while en femme?


I have been popped 8 times by those things and only got 1 ticket.... Many times the plate is blocked. A friend of mine told me less then 50% actually are identifyable. I am out to my family so I would just check the old "it's not me box!" I usually keep the visor down too. blocks half the face (especially in a corvette!

Also I beleive there is a story in Scottsdale about early tickets.... Supposedly a guy ended up with a divorce after photo radar with GF in car... He sued and got big money.... Now in scottsdale they send a notice and you have to go down to see the photo and you have to be the registered owner of the car to see it.

Does being a CD improve your driving? Come on... admit it, do take more care driving because you don't want to get stopped while en femme?

I’m a very safe driver, but when I’m dressed my senses are heightened to the Nth degree, especially during the daytime. Its fun to drive around un-noticed, yet be in my most personal state – it makes even the most mundane trip an exciting adventure. I’ve often thought about how crossdressing makes us drive better, for reasons of survival. “Baby On Board!” :battingeyelashes:

It's true, I don't wish to be stopped en femme, so I'm extremely careful. I keep thinking about that police video they keep showing (for shock value and laughs, I suppose), of the poor tranny running from the law...:sad:

[Sarahwithanh11]

Actually, I'm a lot worse as Jessica. I got a ticket about this time last year, and hit a curb last summer (missed the entrance to a mini-mall). In guy mode I'm a pretty good driver but as a girl I'm pretty much of a ditz!

[LynnInDenver]

I only drive a little more carefully now in 'comfort mode' versus 'convenience mode'. But I can tell you one thing that doesn't change. I have a devil of a time parallel parking, or getting close enough to the ATM that I don't have to open my car door to use it. :o

I don't get too much ribbing for it, outside of the whole "well, you're enough of a girl it's no real surprise". :heehee:
