Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Ooer, I think I caused a car accident this afternoon! I went to my local Tesco trading area and parked. Went into a shop for some parrot food. I dropped these off at the car and walked across the car park to the Burger King. I was wearing a purple Dunlop top with collar and a pale blue above knee summer skirt ( and flip flops! ). As I was walking across the parking areas I spotted one ( male ) driver watching me walk past his car ( he was parked just in front of me ) and a few yard further on I heard a bang. I glanced back but kept on walking and this guy must have pulled out without looking and another car had driven into the side of him. I didn't stop to act as a witness because I didn't see the collision as it was behind me. Was it my fault because he was too busy watching me in my skirt? Maybe it was the flip flops? I don't really know but he was busy swapping details with the other driver to notice me when I got back to my car. The impact had broken the suspension on one side so he couldn't drive off. It has made me think.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.
There are lots of distractions when you are driving. The trick is not to let them put you off thinking about the job in hand. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel!

Indeed, Dennis. If the guy wasn't doing his job -- which was driving -- then he was 100% at fault for the calamity. If one cannot stay fully on-task when one is driving, then one does not deserve to hold a driver's license. Full stop.

I may have nearly caused a similar accident several years ago. I was crossing on foot at a four way stop intersection wearing my knee length cargo skirt. There were two autos stopped 90 degrees from each other. After I crossed, they both tried to cross the intersection at the same time. Don't know if one or both were looking at the sight of a male in a skirt, or were just typical for SF arrogant German car drivers.
