Emily Yoffe writes the Human Guinea Pig column for Slate magazine. She is a reporter who tries unusual jobs and hobbies then reports on them. Her latest article (9/8/10) is about her first vacation at a nudist resort.
It’s clear from reading the article that Mrs. Yoffe is not a nudist nor does she intend to become one, however, she did find one particular activity most enjoyable. She writes “Club members drive naked around the premises and scoot around in golf carts. I had to move my own car, so I draped my towel, buckled up, and took off. Of all the things I did that day, driving naked was by far the most fun….I have to admit, though, a little part of me would have liked to drive away naked. I wouldn't even have minded getting pulled over, if only for the chance to see the look on the trooper's face when I said, "Hello, officer."

Overall, I thought it was a very good article although I was a bit put off by some of her stereotypical comments about old people, unattractive body types. Still, I sensed that she was being honest in her reactions and I appreciated that. I doubt that many of us achieved total acceptance on our first visit to a nudist venue. And there is some validity to her perceptions.
Aside from the potential criminal sanctions, why not drive in the nude? Normal, everyday driving situations don't require and protective clothing or equipment.
