My wife drives locked no worries.

I drove a Tesla X most of the time. Sometimes I drive my daddy’s stick shift jeep. I don’t have thigh bands so aside maybe a little extra rubbing the clutch isn’t a problem.

Sasha

EngineeringEmily I love driving stick. Especially hearing that v12, it’s an experience.
Not the same as my motorcycle but still awesome

even if you don't have it, a recommendation for everyone. never drive with thighbands, it's very dangerous.

EngineeringEmily

Sasha the jeep is a 4 cylinder lol

Besides the general safety advice, have you tried and experienced dangerous moments first hand? In the latter case: Was it with automatic gearbox or manual gear change?

Only additional contribution, while we're on it. I remember a fetish lady driving with bands, but that case alone is hardly representative. And I can't make a statement how risky her driving actually has been, since. (Just that she has lived long enough to share pictures of her fetish life. 🤷 😅 )

No, I've never driven with thighbands, I think if you're already so restricted that you can't walk well, you shouldn't drive

I have no personal experience with thighbands, but to drive a car you hardly need to move your upper legs at all (at least not in the car I drive). Definitely much less than even a very short step requires in movement.
So I do not really see why thighbands should be a problem.

I've never worn thigh bands, but I agree with @Angelina that driving with them just seems like a bad idea. When something dangerous happens and you need to speed up or slow down in a hurry, even a half second delay can be a big problem. If the chain or a lock gets tangled or stuck under your leg or caught on your dress, you have no time to fix it.

And if you do get into a bad accident, and there's any question about whose fault it is, and if it comes out that you were wearing thigh bands (maybe because you went to the hospital), I can't imagine it looking good for you in court.

I've never worn thigh bands either. May I say I find many of your oddball theories interesting and amusing but this one is dangerous.

Ines when I read Sin's 🫣🤣

I tried homemade. I think your mostly right but they catch you when not expecting - like I was comfy to sit with my feet close and my knees a little apart resting against the bands. But then getting up - couldn't just move legs apart! Had to move knees closer and rotate lower leg out. Yeah I think it would catch you out driving and probably arrested if cops found out.

and that is exactly why i will never test it, carrying that responsibility is too much risk

Angelina This, it is to dangerous to test except under very controlled conditions.

Sasha

pestulens Exactly. When I tested it I did it in an empty parking lot. So couldn’t hurt anyone but me.
Not about to on a public road

Angelina

pestulens This, it is to dangerous to test except under very controlled conditions.

that's what i think too, would maybe test it on a sunday in an empty car park space but never in busy traffic

Ines

Drive a car with a device that restraints the movement of the legs is not very intelligent.
Going into the car is a difficult movement with bands, look your legs the next time, and the trick of firs sit with the feet on the street and then to rotate an put the legs inside the car is not possible if another car is parked close enough and you can not open the door fully.

Angelina
Start out while your car is parked. See if you can operate all the pedals uninhibited. If you can, progress to that empty parking lot.

Angelina

good idea 🙂

XJS! The car designed by committee. 🙂

Did I read somewhere that it’s a V12? You might be a woman after my own heart.

Has the wrath of the Dark Lord Joseph Lucas affected your motoring yet?

Nothing rides like a Jag. that rear suspension is sublime.

I have a Mercedes habit. I’ve got two 80s MB diesels, a slightly newer beater truck, and a saturn.

My 240D is the single best car I’ve ever had.

i also drive a mercedes, an A180. love this car 😃

Sasha

MightyMouse Yes this is one of the v12 models, love the design of these cars.
I’ve heard stories about the electrical issues these cars are known for, but its previous owner rewired the entire car when he got it.
Said he built it as a TWR tribute car, so he gave me this huge list of things he’d done to the engine, chassis, etc.
all I care about though is it looks cool, has a 6 speed manual and sounds amazing lol.
