Is it legal to drive in the nude in the USA (specifically Kansas)?

In Kansas there is no law against nudity. However, local ordinances can prohibit it. In my city “being in Public” is defined as “Generally visible by the public”. That is interpreted as loosely walking or driving down the street or sidewalk and you look over and see someone nude that would be considered in public. Looking in people’s windows is not allowed and would not be considered public.

I am nude all the time and drive nude frequently with no issues. My neighbors are tolerant and have had no concerns.

Be sure and check your local laws to be certain.

In Kansas, it is legal to be naked in full view of everyone, walking down the street, “unless [one] is exposing themselves or a sexual organ to gratify or arouse someone other than themself”, according to this news story, so driving naked in Kansas would also be legal, if those conditions are met.

In general, if you are driving naked and no one can see you, then there is no violation of law. Nudity in itself is not a crime.
Example: It is 3 AM and you are on an interstate or any other road for that matter, and there are no other vehicles on the road or if no one can see you are nude, then there is no violation.

One would definitely have to look at the statutes state by state. In the state of Florida for example you could be cited under the public indecency statute. In NY though going topless is legal for women, so partial nudity would be fine in that state.

There were similar discussions on other sites like Yahoo answers, or Answers.com.

But generally Kansas being a fairly conservative state I would say you are likely to get cited for public indecency if you get stopped or have to get out of the car (unless of course you start and end in a garage in a private home.)

Additional info

There are several blogs discussing driving naked and its legality they are not specific to Kansas but discuss points generally applicable to Kansas as well.
