Driving “en femme” , wow, over 400 views and heaps of likes
Good morning again,
I clearly remember the fun and frivolity surrounding my post about how we do up our bras and never thought another of my posts could top that.
But obviously driving “whilst wearing female clothes”, (there I did not type “en femme”, must avoid that where we can 😆 ,) has topped the bra post by a significant margin.
Guess the above proves that this topic is one that occupies much of our thoughts.
As for Caty.. well no more driving “in this manner”, (there avoided THAT phrase again 😆 ), until at least next autumn*** and in terms of “being seen” behind the wheel, the trusty ?? Commodore that broke down and started it all, will soon be replaced with another car with heavily tinted glass. So the “thrill” of someone thinking that it’s a “woman driver” behind the wheel will be gone. Not that in my experience, anyone takes any notice, they should be and almost all the time are, concentrating on the road ahead.
But a good discusssion all around and thanks to all who contributed
Happy driving dressed
Caty
*** From now through until April, I always think of a good TGR friend from WA who said, (and in her climate more so), “cross dressing is a winter sport”. At least for those of us who cannot remove all that male body hair.
Hi to all on TGR,
On the few occasions over my life I have driven a car dressed as Caty (and loved it), I have always made sure I had my track suit, male shoes and make up wipes in the car. This to allow for the fact that if anything goes wrong with the car, I could revert to “drab” very quickly.
Yes I know, the average roadside service guy and tow truckie have seen it all, but that does not allow for the stress of it all for those of us, including to a certain extent me, who would be a touch embarrassed by having to have my car looked at by a roadside serviceman or tow truckie.
Well, some two weeks ago,whilst driving on a weekday morning,with my beloved beside me in my “trusty” (sic) old Commodore, the engine died in the middle of Chapel Street Prahran.
So I was very thankful the “donk died” under “normal circumstances” and not when I was dressed as Caty. This after driving home from the City to our regional Vic home as Caty twice in 3 weeks not three months ago.Had it happened then I would have needed my back up clothes even more than had the engine died in the City. That’s simply cos I’m reasonably well known in these ‘ere parts and the gossip mill would have overrevved out of control and “done its own donk”.
Leads me to ask if anyone has had a car breakdown/accident whilst en femme
and what was the result.Regards
Caty

Hi Caty
Suspect I have driven many thousands of Kilometres now and have never contemplated the need for a change of outfit if something went wrong . I understand some might feel the need to have a back up plan ie change of clothes and shoes BUT I dont know how I could successfully change into male clothing , while out on a public road even in night time . But if it gives you comfort having some back up clothing then of course Go for it!!
My one and only experience with a “breakdown” was (of all places) actually on a petrol station site when I was with four others in a car on A T G weekend. it was a flat tyre and we had just made it to the service station .
I volunteered to do the wheel change, broke a few nails doing so but a couple of minutes into the process a nice guy came over and asked if he could help. All went well after that.Suspect i will continue to rely on being seen as female IF a situation like that occurs again and hope I have the same outcome
Cheers

Hi Caty
I drive ‘en femme’ most days of the week and interstate about monthly. I change at my storage facility and usually have my change of clothes and make up remover in the car with me.
My main reason for doing so is not so much in breakdown situations or health emergences although they could be useful then too, but to avoid having to go home en femme and confront a wife within a DADT relationship.
The insurance worked on one occasion when the storage facility was closed because of a nearby bomb threat!
I don’t see having a change of clothes as being ‘chicken’; just good sense for unforseen circumstances.
Best wishes

Driving enfemme is a very enjoyable experience. The first couple of times I did take a plan b. Kit. Makeup remover, jeans. Shoes. And a jumper , but since then I have been too excited to remember to take the kit with me
I find I drive differently enfemme. In the city I make sure I use the central locking for the doors, -
I must admit I have driven en-femme at least half a dozen times but mostly at night. Having personalized plates doesn’t help. So a Hire car is the only way to go for me. No issues with clothes though as I have a semi supportive partner. There is a thrill associated with it ..If only the ability to drive in heels

I have driven lots all frocked up, including long trips interstate. I don’t consider any need to carry boy clothes as I would not change regardless. I was a little nervous at first driving around Canberra only because I have a fairly unique car, a black sporty Jaguar S-Type and I’m friends with a few of the local motorcycle police. I have been ‘pulled over’ once so one of them could take the car for a spin, leaving me to watch his bike by the sidecar the road. Thankfully that time I was ‘boy’. Before I ‘came out’ I was quite terrified of something similar happening when frocked up. Now, well they all know so it wouldn’t be a surprise, for them or me… Im only waiting on the day I get breathalysed…

This brought back memories of an afternoon spent en femme in Melbourne with a girl friend a few years ago. we were parked along St Kilda road near the garden clock and after a wander round shops and cafe’s we set off home when the trusty old Toyota died.
I rang the RACV and a flat bed truck arrived to collect the beast and deposit her at my nearest local garage in Murrembeena. I assumed we were going to grab a taxi when my friend asked could we get a lift. She had the biggest grin on her face as I climbed into the cab in a tight knee length skirt but she also made sure I sat in the middle.
PS. Excuse this addition but the posting reminded me of some photos that were taken on the day in question. I don’t know how to post them in the thread, if one can, but I added them to my photo album. -
I have been driving to several different areas when dressed and like Caty have the emergency back up bag just in case. I generally stop on the side of the road and leaving the engine running open both passenger side doors then do a quick clothes change first then back in to the car for a little make-up and hair repairs. Thanks god for those illuminated make up mirrors in the visor. I have I must proudly say achieved the ability to drive in heels. Yay me.
I am always careful never to have anything to drink as if pulled over for a booze bus then very bad if you have to accompany someone to the bus in your frock.
As for the emergency bag never had to use it yet. (touch wood) as most of my driving and arrival at destinations is at night. -
I don’t drive to much en femme but i have only once taken back up clothes and that was the first time , since then i go out without any , mind you i cant use my company car as it is sign written and very easy to spot not just friends but customers .
The last few Transformals i leave home and get back en femme even through the day , i came to a realization after my first formal that hey this is who i am and if, or more so when , i get sprung i will deal with it then so no more back up clothes for me , i find it liberating leaving the house for the weekend or night with no male clothes at all it just adds to the weekend or night , and the drive up an back to the formal we stop for fuel etc , not broken down as yet but hey that may happen one day. :unsure:
However i am very lucky to have a very supportive wife who travels with me as well

I tend to do everything frocked up these days apart from going to work. Driving or anything else is no longer an issue, although I used to be petrified of being pulled over or anything else happening. Now, it doesn’t bother me, I’m not hurting anyone if they have an issue with the way I dress then its their problem, not mine. On another note I was pulled up on the way home from work a couple of weeks ago by the police for a breath test. As I had been at work, I was wearing a hi-vis shirt (definitely male) as I work in industry. The policeman asked if I had anything to drink that day and proceeded to give me the test. When the test was done, he said to me “good girl” and sent me on my way. I think the policeman may have been blind, but I couldn’t see a guide dog anywhere.
In my experience the police and emergency services people don’t care. -
I drive en femme too all the time and it does not bother me. – however – I do think that when the sun roof cover is slid back that the truck drivers can see my legs exposed. Doesn’t worry me but I think about it.
Funny that I don’t even think about that when I am in DRAB clothes mode…. -
Good evening folks. I can relate to most of the experiences above as I often drive en femme. During the school holidays I often make several solo trips to and from ‘The Shire’ and Ulladulla on the south coast.(just on 200kms.)
A typical trip would go something like this;
a) Depart family and holiday home wearing Fay’s undies and male external attire.
b) Pull of the highway a kilometre or so up the road and transform into Fay.
c) This includes make up, wig, jewellery and of course nothing less than 4″ heels.
d) Strangely I always have to stop for fuel on the way home.
Never get a second glance until I have to say “number 1” in my unfeminine voice. I do have a credit card in a feminine name so that part goes OK.
e) Continue to destination and remain as Fay until required present as male for work.Some added benefits are that I don’t speed, I drive less aggressively and seem to stay much more alert. Don’t want to be pulled over by the constabulary :ohmy:
One thing I have noticed is that when stopped at a red light some male drivers in the adjacent lanes will note the female hairstyle from behind and edge up to “check out the chick.” (Must be a disappointment to spot me. :S
I enjoy every opportunity that I can to present as Fay.
Keep frocking up, hugs Fay

Amen to that Fay, I do exactly the same. Tho I’ll pass on trying to drive in 4″ heels.

I’ll have to admit that years ago when driving, wherever that may have been I always ensured that a quick change boy outfit was stashed in the car, just in case. I never needed that insurance, and now when I drive as I frequently as Liz, its all or nothing. It adds a little excitement to the day, anyway, who cares?

Yes it happened to me at sydney star casino ,i ,lost my keys in the casino and my friends had gone home.there was no drama but it was scary waiting for the nrma in the foyer .The service guy was not fazed and was very helpful waiting till i was able to sort the problem out.

Hi, Itook a two week holiday to Canberra in March driving “dressed” all the way from west Qld and back with the caravan. I stayed in van parks and free camped and nobody battered an eyelid. No backup taken and no needed. Roberta
