    About a month ago I was travelling from Coomera to Jimboomba. I followed the GPS sugestions – with caution

    The nite was dark I was on a unfamilar road. A few oncoming cars passed, a gap, few more passed with a lite truck and nothing for about 30 seconds

    Suddenly there were car parts scattered across the road and a wreck of a car on the side of the road in the other lane. No fire. I stopped immediately and ended up 40 meters away from the accident.

    I was fully dressed enfemme with no make up or hair done. To help, what would you do?

    As for myself. As there was no fire I remained in the car and called 000 for professional help

    Hi Everyone,
    I went to the Cafe evening last night and met the girls.
    Jokingly Amanda mentioned this thread, as I was driving dressed, and thought it could be an invitation to a posting! Well it was and is.
    Got stopped for BT and booked for not having correct window sticker.
    Probably because I am 12000 miles from home I was remarcably calm and the policewoman very professional, except for the “have a nice evening” bit.
    Is this Amanda phsycic I wonder?
    Or maybe a police informer lol.
    Thanks to Lorraine,Clare,Penny,Christine and Christa too for a nice evening.

    Daveena, she would have said “have a nice evening” out of politeness wouldn’t she? Of course there is a little bit of “well I got you didn’t I?” She possibly rubbed the fine in a little but the police these days are a lot more polite than in previous times. There is a thread elsewhere in these forums titled “Has the attitude of the police changed?” so search it out and have a read, it might interest you. Getting pulled over is part of life and I’m glad that you survived it, albeit with a fine but yeah don’t fret too much huh? You still had a nice night after all!

    I remember when pulling up at traffic lights in my car i would stop half way between the two cars next to me and getting tinted windows,
    Now,
    I ride my bike (Suzuki GSXR 600) in tight ass leather pants, heeled woman’s boots, fem singlet, push up bra for my hrt size “B” boobs, french tipped nails, jewelery, pink helmet and a pink number plate surround, LOL.

    Its all fun.

    I rode my girlfriends Harley Davidson down to Sue’s place on Saturday afternoon, nice tight black jeans, pretty black cotton jacket with a pink hoody and Harley Davidson written in pink on the back with lots of flowers etc, sadly didnt have any heels to wear on the bike.
    Little girly bright red top, pearl necklace and makeup, open face helmet.
    I am usually worried when I drive my car about pulling up at the lights alongside anyone. I did behave my self and rode quite sedately, I usually ride my Triumph but I thought my girls Harley looked a lot more chic :wink:LOL
    Much too easy, was even brave enough to stop for petrol on the way home even though I didnt need any. The girl on the console took several seconds to twig but was very polite and wished me a good night, when I strolled back to the Harley I spotted her at the rear of the shop with the Eagle Boy piza boys checking me out ( hey look boys , there’s a man dressed as woman riding a Harley) they lost interest in about 15 seconds
    Nice night for a ride. Going out just keeps getting easier

    Hi Maddy & Loretta, cant agree more, much more fun riding than driving, question I havent been able to resolve is how to take the helmet off with out the wig coming with it, unless your those lucky girls with their own hair, sigh, way too late for me, keep the rubber side down & the pretty clothes up
    cheers

    I used to enjoy riding my bike en-fem, it was the only way I could get out as I know no others then. I also rode it in tight jeans but with rips in them to show the stockings underneath, heels and a female bike jacket. I used to feel so free, oh and I had a long hair extension tucked into the back padding of the helmet. Ah! memories.

    I drive a car that draws attention, a GT R33 Skyline, very sporty in grey. I have had people check the car out and some young crew in other Skylines give me a big thumbs up and some times wave. I have never had a problem and enjoy driving en-fem. My advice would be to keep your doors locked and act natural, if you don’t stare at other drivers to see if they are looking, as they are not, they won’t stare at you. I’m planning on driving en-fem to the TransFormal function and that would be about 1000klm from where I live in SA.

    Hi All,
    I’m not one for posting very often, but had to tell you of en experience I had a few years back driving home from a night out. Hope it’s not too long…
    I had dropped a friend off at home and was soon to drop another girl (GG) friend off also. We were travelling along King Georges Rd (Syd) when a police car pulled up behind me and pulled me over. I hadn’t done anything wrong, it was random…at least that’s what I thought. I pulled over straight away in the end of a residential street to get off the busy road. Mr. Policeman came to my window and asked to check licence, no problemo, that’s happened a bout 50 times over the years when I’ve been dressed. Been asked a few times when am I going to change my licence pic…I ask myself the same question regularly! Didn’t do an alco-test, just asked where I’m going. Told him just dropping off my friend, then home. He went to his car, I assume to check licence / rego on my car. Then came back and firmly asked me to turn off the engine. I asked him why, then very firmly told me and my friend to get out of the car. He was quite angry, so I thought yep.. I’ll get out of the car. Just as I did, I hear the sound of police sirens all around. 2 police cars coming one way up main road, 1 police car coming the other way up main road and one up the residential street! They all surrounded my car, high beam headlights and roof lights on. So there was I dressed (Sat night so it was a little bit…Sat nightish :)), my friend and a tally of about 12 police officers. The officer in charge was a short fella with an attitude. He got 2 of his officers, one male and one female to search me and my friend. The one searching me extremely uncomfortably tried to ask if I still had ‘it’ down there, as I assume if I didn’t it would need to be a female officer that would search me? The OIC wanted to search the car so had one of the young officers do it. I insisted on being there with him, as just so happened on that night I had some expensive aircraft bits (from work) with me I was working with and I didn’t want careless handling of them. The young one I felt sorry for as he kept quietly apologising to me. This ordeal went on for some 20 mins. Surprisingly, it didn’t worry me one little bit. I was actually waiting for the camera man to come out from behind a tree and say gotcha! you’ve been set-up by a friend :) But, after all that, nothing found, nothing wrong, every body satisfied, I wasn’t told just what the hell it was all about. I did ask, but no answer. Just the ‘have a good evening’ thing. My theory was my car may have looked like one involved with something sinister that night? Maybe? Or mistaken identity…they thought I was….Paris Hilton and may have been on something! (I wish LOL!) Just like most of my encounters with the police, when out dressed, all was pretty friendly and respectful. But there’s always one in the bunch. The short…slightly overweight one in charge that night. Me thinks it was nothing against me, just short man syndrome :-)

    you have the right to enquire officially to the ombudsman the reason for the search informing of date , time and police officer’s name, hopefully only 2 out of three relating to multiple units arriving :)

    Our fleet of vehicles is randomly pulled over by the police on a regular basis. After the boss sought legal advice we were told to do the following –

    Keep a log of the time, date, location, police officers name, the police cars registration, and the name/address of a witness – if there is one, for each time you are pulled over. Only do this for the times you are singled out and it’s a random stop, not for other times such as roadside drug/breath testing etc.

    After you have logged a couple of these occasions, the next time you are pulled over be polite but tell the officer you feel you are being victimized and/or harassed. Picking the right moment, start to add this event to your log. The officer will enquire about the log and you very politely explain it’s what your lawyer/solicitor has instructed you to do.

    The officer, after doing a very quick check on your licence, will let you continue on your way.

    It took me a few times before I got it right, I should have practiced my spiel first, but I learnt the more calm and collect I am the sooner they let me continue my journey. Make sure you say company lawyer/solicitor or you have a family member who is a lawyer/solicitor. It adds weight and they assume you are not be bluffing.

    I keep a shorter version of my log in my car, over the Christmas period I was pulled over, while dressed. The officer was not exactly being nice so I went through my spiel, his attitude changed and I was sent on my way without any further undue fuss.

    I’ll add my contribution to being stopped by police. I’ve been stopped three times now within the ACT, twice for an RBT and once after someone cut me off, witnessed by the said police. The first time I was almost wetting myself, but then I thought ‘what the hell are they going to do?’
    That’s right absolutely nothing, there’s no law anywhere in Australia dictating what or what you may not wear. The youngsters, and they were youngsters were very polite and wished me well and a pleasant day. I have never had any problems with the law, primarily because I have a considerable knowledge of traffic and criminal law. The problem that may be encountered is if your appearance is markedly changed, eg. by a wig. And your appearance is contrary to the driving licence photo. Keep your appearance as close as possible ‘en natural’ An offence may be comitted if your ‘trying to deceive’ for gain or otherwise. There have been a couple of landmark cases of recent years reflecting badly on the police when dealing with transger and trassexual people. Police are well aware they need to cover their bums for their own benifit.
    There is nothing worse than a smart arse driver for gettin the back up of police. Let me assure you smart arses are caught out one way or another. There was an old saying, ‘if the right don’t get you, the left one will.’

    Hugs

    been pulled up by police about 6 times by police for different reasons
    RBT etc and just licence and vehicle check
    never had problem, always treated like a girl, one fem officer said ‘thank you sweetie’ at a RBT in city one night.
    first time i got stopped i was parked in a semi industrial street
    new to dressing fully, bad wig, bad makeup.
    tarty top and very short skirt.
    the young fem cop couldnt hold back the smerk etc.
    but the older fem cop had the torch aimed directly at my black lace see thru panties, which because of my very short skirt was easy to see, now i tuck, so look a bit more respectfull.
    after about 5 mins they said goodbye, and drove off

    quick note….
    im 100 % out, and go most places as jess, or wearing some sought fem clothing, only male clothes i have are work clothes

    Hi ladies, the one common element we all have is fear, but unlike some Ive taken the next drastic step and gone full time. the one thing i know is that we put to much on our selves and want to be perfect, no woman is, we all have flaws in our presentation regardless of whether your a supermodel or a banshee from hell.
    The thing to remember above all else is to be your self and not to try and be something your not, it is when we try to hide things from others that they become suspicious of our intentions. Suspicion breeds fear and then hatred, so be who you are, be happy who you are, and others will relax around you, that’s my 2 cents worth, love to all Amy Melynda-Rose.

    Hi, when I first started going out dressed I had a 60 km drive into the city from home and on a Friday or Saturday night the likelihood of being pulled over was quite high. Dressed I looked nothing like my driver’s licence photo so I got a letter from my Psychiatrist “This is to confirm that is in the transition stage of gender reassignment (sex change) and is also known to me as Jade “.

    Surprisingly I never needed it for dealing with the Police but it was reassuring to have it in my handbag.

    I did use it for other purposes when my identity was in question.

    As soon as I went full time and had had my name changed I got my new driver’s licence, my medicare and one of my credit cards cards changed. This meant I had 100 points of identification in my new identity. Each one of these was a real buzz and the people I had to deal with were all fantastic and treated me like any other woman!

    :-) Jade
