I never drove in my 'jamas' but I did have my children in theirs, when I drove my ex to the train station early some morning.
Interestingly I did see other wives in dressing gowns and always gave them a wave.
It always reminded me of my aunt who lived in the Midlands and visited Porthcawl frequently. The one year when driving home, their car broke down. She was as usual dressed for comfort and was wearing slippers, so had to root around in their bags, as they had to travel home on a train. So this was always in my mind and dressed 'proper' even for the shortest journeys.
Although there was an occasion when driving to work one morning, I was stopped at some traffic lights when the woman in the car along side me was making sweeping motions over her head and then pointing to me. I raised up my hand to the top of my head and on my crown was a large hair roller, taming the bit of hair which always stuck up!
I probably would have found it before I entered the classroom, but I did go hot and cold thinking about it later!
Do you make sure you're 'tidy' when you're in your car?

No, but I don't drive in my PJs (or rather nightie) either!
I remember that when I was teaching in Surrey, I arrived at school, (just the once), wearing my slippers! I had to hastily go back home for my shoes. Luckily, I always got to school quite early and so had the time to go home and change before anyone saw me! 😁
My mother used to drive me to school if I missed the school bus wearing a coat over her nightdress and shoes on her bare feet. Until the day she ran out of petrol....
I would never go out in my dressing gown and slippers. I have to be really poorly before I spend a day in my nightclothes too.
