Can You Wear a Long Skirt While Practicing Driving?
2 Answers
It is not recommended to wear a long skirt while practicing driving, as it may get tangled with the clutch or brake pedals, posing safety risks. Here are some relevant details: 1. Summer: If practicing driving in summer, it is advisable to wear sweat-absorbing, loose-fitting clothes for comfort and coolness. Additionally, wearing cloth shoes or flat shoes is recommended for better control over the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals, making it easier to master the "key points" of pedal operation. 2. Subject Two (Parking and Maneuvering): For the Subject Two driving test, wearing slippers, high heels, or colored sunglasses is prohibited. While there is no explicit rule against wearing skirts, for safety reasons, it is not advisable to wear long skirts during the test. Stick to your usual practice attire and approach the test with the same mindset as during practice to avoid excessive nervousness.
I absolutely don't recommend wearing long skirts while practicing driving. As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen beginners nearly get into accidents because their long skirts got stuck under the brake pedal. Especially during reversing or lane changes, skirts can get caught on the seat or door handle, causing delayed movements. In an emergency, even a split-second delay in reaction can be disastrous. The key to driving practice is developing muscle memory and focus. Long skirts not only hinder leg movements—like when shifting gears or pressing the clutch, where the swaying skirt can be distracting—but also divide attention. I suggest wearing pants or short skirts that don't go past the knees, along with flat, non-slip shoes. Safety is no small matter; start minimizing risks from your clothing choices. In hot weather, breathable fabrics are more practical—don't let small details ruin valuable practice time.
