Can You Drive a Car Wearing Sandals?
1 Answers
Yes. Traffic regulations do not prohibit driving while wearing sandals, but they do prohibit driving in slippers. Sandals without straps are considered the same as slippers. Below is an introduction to driving while wearing sandals: 1. The "Road Traffic Management Regulations" clearly state that motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive in slippers. In the event of an accident, if one of the drivers is wearing slippers, even if that driver is not at fault for the entire incident, the responsibility for the accident will be borne by the other party, and the driver wearing slippers will still face penalties from traffic police for driving in slippers. If both parties are found to share responsibility based on the circumstances of the accident, the driver wearing slippers will not only bear the accident liability but also face additional penalties. 2. Sandals without straps are completely equivalent to slippers in nature and pose significant dangers when driving. In emergency situations, drivers wearing such footwear are highly prone to operational errors, leading to traffic accidents. For instance, in emergencies requiring sudden braking, wearing slippers or sandals without straps can easily cause the foot to slip, fail to press the brake firmly, or even miss the brake pedal entirely, greatly increasing the risk of rear-end collisions or hitting pedestrians.
