Can You Wear Shorts While Driving?

[VanAnna]

You can wear shorts, but you must not drive barefoot, in slippers, or high heels. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" explicitly prohibits drivers from operating vehicles barefoot, in high heels, or slippers. Violators will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a fine. Here are the reasons why wearing sandals or slippers while driving is prohibited: 1. Slippers are not secure and can easily slip off: In emergency situations, this can lead to slippage when braking. 2. Impaired control: Driving in slippers can cause inaccuracies in operating the clutch and accelerator, posing significant safety risks. Experimental studies indicate that slippers can delay braking response by 0.13 seconds, equivalent to extending the braking distance by 3.5 meters when traveling at 60 km/h.
