Wearing the kilt while driving

Try a sheep fleece - works on a motorbike.

Driving kilted is the bast way to drive. Longer I drive more I'm grateful to my kilt!

AMEN

Like Jock said, take sporran off if it's an issue.

For keeping the pleats straighter, watch my video on how I get in a car whilst kilted:

Hope this helps.

Excellent demonstration! I think it should be a sticky, somewhere.

Of course, we here in the UK are lucky having right hand drive vehicles. I just pleatsweep and sit into the driving seat as if I were sitting in a chair. When I swivel round into the driving position my pleats are in the right direction and will stay there.

As to the sporran, if I am sitting, driving, eating, toileting or dancing close, I push my sporran on to my left hip. Far easier to do if you use a sporran strap rather than chains.

Regards

Been there - done that. Gotta love Arizona!....okay and in California too....jeez, where else?

I drive kilted almost everyday and have never worried or had an issue with the pleats setting improperly. The one bit of driving I learned should never be done while kilted is with go-carts. It was a management off-site and I only thought putt-putt golf was on the agenda. I drove with one hand while keeping the aprons down with the other. Came in third though.

When driving with pants or shorts, mine tend to bunch up uncomfortably. A kilt solved that for me. I try to carefully sweep the pleats under when I sit down, but sometimes I have to do it twice. The towel idea is good, I will try that one.

Sweep the pleats and take the time to get them arranged.

Push the sporran out of the way or take it off as needed. In the car I take it off, in the truck it isn't in the way.

The only other thing, which I have not seen referenced, is to perform what I call "Windows File Management" -- also known as "Drag and Drop" to put the "lads" in a comfortable position. Only necessary occasionally, and usually only with a canvas kilt that is a little stiff in the pleats and can tend to grab and pinch the delicate bits.

Driving kilted is not a problem. Leaning in over the tailgate to pull stuff out of the back in a stiff breeze may risk full disclosure.
