Last time before taking the driving test (Subject 2), I deliberately wore a new pair of sandals to practice at the driving school, thinking they would be cool and comfortable. However, when it came to clutch control, my feet slipped, making it difficult to press the clutch steadily, causing the car to jerk and almost hit an obstacle. The instructor immediately stopped me and explained that sandals lack support, and unstable heels can affect pedal operation, especially during emergency braking or precise reversing. Later, I switched to sneakers, and the foot feel improved significantly, leading to a smooth test. When learning to drive, always prioritize safety in footwear—don’t cut corners and risk serious consequences.

As an older person who has witnessed many driving accidents, I am particularly concerned about young people taking their driving tests carelessly. Wearing sandals during the Category 2 test poses significant risks—lack of foot protection can lead to improper clutch control, causing the car to lose control and crash into walls. My nephew once failed his test and was disqualified for wearing flip-flops. Category 2 requires focused control of the clutch and brake, and wearing closed-toe shoes like sneakers can stabilize the heel and ensure safety. The test rules clearly require appropriate attire—it's not a minor detail.

During driving, the operations in Subject 2 rely on the precision of foot control, with frequent use of the clutch. Wearing sandals may cause slipping, affecting reaction time and potentially leading to mistakes that could result in point deductions by the examiner. I recommend opting for thick-soled, non-slip shoes such as sneakers or leather shoes, which provide better heel support for more stable pedal control. Safety comes first; wearing unsuitable shoes during the test not only affects performance but could also lead to accidents. Developing good habits is key to passing smoothly.
