Can you get a ticket for driving without a shirt?

I live in Southern California. When the weather gets hot, I like to pop my shirt off, especially because my car’s AC leaves much to be desired. A friend of mine told me that driving without a shirt is illegal, but I’m apprehensive. Can I get a ticket for driving without a shirt?

Sorry to hear that your AC is lacking! But if you want to stay cool, you cannot get a ticket for driving without a shirt in most cases. More specifically, you can’t get a ticket in
California
, that is, unless your shirtless driving falls under laws governing lewd or obscene acts.
If you’re male, this won’t pertain to you. But if you’re a female, driving without a shirt may be illegal if you’re exposing your breasts. To avoid this, you should at least wear a swimsuit top to avoid being pulled over or ticketed.
A better way to deal with this situation is just to get your AC fixed. If you want to save some money to get the repairs done, use the
