Is it allowed to drive shirtless?
2 Answers
There is no explicit legal prohibition against driving shirtless. Here are some basic driving rules: 1. When driving on the road: Obey traffic regulations. Following traffic rules is not just to avoid fines or penalty points, but to ensure the safety of yourself and others. 2. While driving: Do not smoke, do not answer phone calls, yield to pedestrians, yield to non-motor vehicles, do not speed, and obey traffic signals. Some drivers with poor manners ignore traffic rules on the road, which is irresponsible behavior towards their own and others' lives. We hope all drivers will follow traffic rules.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've seen it all, and driving shirtless is definitely not a good habit. Although traffic regulations don't explicitly prohibit it, driving with improper attire is considered uncivilized behavior, and traffic police may fine you if caught, citing reasons like disturbing public order. Safety is the top priority—seat belts need to fit snugly against the body to be effective. With slippery skin and no buffer, the belt can easily shift during sudden braking, drastically reducing protection and increasing the risk of skin abrasions in a crash. I understand the urge in hot weather, but wearing a breathable, lightweight shirt actually prevents sweat from sticking to the seat, keeping you cool and safe. Remember, driving is a public activity—dressing appropriately is responsible for both yourself and others. Don’t gamble safety for momentary comfort.
