Can drivers wear sandals while driving?
1 Answers
Sandals are allowed, but flip-flops are prohibited. The "Road Traffic Management Regulations" clearly stipulate that motor vehicle drivers are not permitted to drive while wearing flip-flops. In the event of an accident, if one driver is wearing flip-flops, even if that driver is not at fault for the entire incident, the accident liability will be borne by the other party, and the driver wearing flip-flops will still face penalties from traffic police for driving in flip-flops. If both parties are deemed responsible based on the accident circumstances, the driver wearing flip-flops will not only bear accident liability but also face additional penalties. Below are some potential hazards of wearing sandals while driving: 1. Delayed braking: In emergency situations requiring quick braking, wearing sandals may lead to delayed braking response. 2. Distracted driving: Wearing sandals may cause drivers to relax and become distracted, significantly increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents.
