Is it safe to have sex in a car?
FOR some people with an adventurous edge, car sex is a great way to spice things up.
But besides the fun, car sex can be really complicated and could get you in a lot of trouble.
Is it safe to have sex in a car?
First and foremost, you should be respectful of your surroundings.
The last thing you want to do is give people a sight they won’t forget.
Secondly, if you’re going to give it a try, you need to find a safe place to park and make sure the car is turned off.
It’s also a good idea to have a conversation with your partner before you venture off to speak about what you both want to get out of your alfresco experience.
Is it illegal to have sex in a car?
While there are no specific UK laws against having sex inside a vehicle, it is illegal to have sex in public.
Drivers could also be fined for careless driving if they are caught performing sex acts in a vehicle as this would be a distraction.
Road users could be given a £100 fixed penalty notice and up to three points on their driving licence.
But if the police consider that the driver has put other road users at risk, the fine could rise to £5,000 and result in nine points on your licence.
There are no laws in place for road users who commit an act inside their vehicles away from the public, for example a private driveway.
Can you get arrested for having sex in a car?
If you are reported by a member of the public for being naked in the car you face being charged with indecent exposure.
In the Sexual Offences Act 2003, indecent exposure is outlined as intentionally showing your genitals in a public place in order to cause alarm or distress.
A survey, conducted by GAP insurance brokers ALA, found that 49% of drivers have engaged in sexual activity inside a vehicle.
Younger drivers between 18 and 24 were found to be least likely to have sex inside a car with 35-44-year-olds the most adventurous.
Shockingly, a total of thirty per cent of road users revealed they had committed a sex act while driving a vehicle.
