Abstract
An apron that may be worn by the driver of a vehicle protects his clothing from spilled food or beverage, or falling cigarette or cigar ashes, while he is eating and/or smoking as he is driving. The apron can be put on and taken off with one hand making a single connection. It comprises a torso panel and a lap panel, the former removably connected to a neck strap. The lap panel covers the thighs and knees. The sides of the lap panel are stiffened by weights maintaining the lap panel flat on the thighs and preventing it from creeping up over the knees despite the movement of the driver'"'"'s legs as he operates the pedals of the vehicle. The apron is made of water-repellent, moisture-breathing, fire retardant fabric.
