Owl 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?
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 
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.
Nice!
PO did you one hell of a favor, as V12s weren't sold in the states with manuals after 1981 and instead got a GM 4 speed auto. Three pedals is the way for all the things, really. A slushbox Tom Walkinshaw tribute would be daft.
The biggest favor he did you was the wiring harness replacement. Lucas used incredibly thin wires for tasks that needed thicker wires, so the if the things worked, they would get hot and melt insulation, then cause shorts or worse. There are a series of jokes about the fellow and his company. "Why do the british drink warm beer? because lucas made their refrigerators."
I bet it sounds amazing. Does it have the sidepipes, or at least a set of cutouts?
Because rust is a thing, I drove my 240D a bit with no muffler. It sounded like a World War I fighter plane. It was absurd that something so slow could be so fantastically loud.
MightyMouse He built it with cutouts that exit behind the front tires, and oh gosh it’s loud with them open

Why aren't there skyscraper buildings in the UK? Because Lucas makes elevators.
I was a proud owner of a 1965 Land Rover 109 Station Wagon for a while. No electrical issues but almost no electrical system to speak of.
