Can I drive with my convertible's roof down during the lockdown?

I know it is a really trivial question, but I have to use my Mazda MX-5 for essential journeys and I was wondering if the coronavirus-related regulations prohibit me driving with the top down?

Not at all - as long as you're only using your car for an essential journey (e.g. a weekly shopping trip, getting medication etc). You may be more likely to attract the attention of the police driving an MX-5 with the roof down but, assuming you're not doing anything wrong, go for it.

Just as good to drive as the soft-top. More secure. Arguably more stylish.
