You can drive in flat sandals, but you cannot drive in flip-flops. Regulations on footwear for driving: According to relevant laws, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive barefoot, in slippers, or in high heels. Violators will be fined 50 yuan, and those who cause traffic accidents will be fined 200 yuan. In the event of an accident, if one driver is wearing slippers, even if they are not at fault in the accident, they will still be penalized by traffic police for driving in slippers. If both parties are found to be at fault, the driver wearing slippers will not only bear the accident responsibility but also face additional penalties. Footwear unsuitable for driving: High-top shoes, snow boots, thick-soled sneakers, platform shoes, and Crocs are unsuitable for driving. These types of shoes can restrict joint movement due to the coverage of the legs and ankles, reducing agility and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions due to delayed braking. Additionally, their wide shape and soft soles can cause the foot to slip inside the shoe, leading to braking errors and significant safety hazards. Footwear suitable for driving: Lightweight shoes. Heavy shoes are generally bulky and less flexible, potentially hindering ankle movement and causing inconvenience. In emergencies, heavy shoes may prevent timely and precise reactions. Shoes with a high fit to the foot. If the sole and toes do not fit snugly in the shoe, the driver may not have sufficient sensitivity to the pressure applied. Shoes with moderate friction. Only shoes with adequate friction can ensure proper contact between the sole and the pedals, thereby ensuring safe driving.
