You can drive in flat sandals, but not in flip-flops. Regulations on footwear for driving: According to relevant laws, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive barefoot, in slippers, or high heels. Violators will be fined 50 RMB, and if a traffic accident is caused, the fine will be 200 RMB. In the event of an accident, if one of the drivers is wearing slippers, even if they are not at fault for the accident, the responsibility will be borne by the other party, and the driver wearing slippers will still be penalized by traffic police for driving in slippers. If both parties are found to be at fault according to the accident circumstances, 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 not suitable for driving. These types of shoes restrict joint movement due to the coverage of the legs and ankles, reducing sensitivity and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions due to delayed braking. Additionally, their wider 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 with the shoes, the driver may not fully sense the pressure applied to the pedals. Shoes with moderate friction. Only shoes with sufficient friction can ensure a secure grip between the sole and the pedals, thereby ensuring safe driving.
