How high can high heels be when driving?
1 Answers
According to the traffic safety regulations, behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as wearing slippers, high heels over 4 centimeters, driving barefoot, or holding a phone while talking, are prohibited while driving. Violations will result in a deduction of 2 points and a certain fine. Wearing shoes with 3-centimeter heels is allowed for driving, though it might be considered borderline in relation to the regulations. The impacts of driving in high heels include: 1. Easy to get stuck: Due to the excessive height of the heels (over 4cm), when the driver attempts to press the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get stuck in the gap between the pedal (brake or accelerator) and the car floor, making it difficult to press the pedal fully, severely affecting normal driving. When switching between the accelerator and brake pedals, the heel can easily get stuck during the transition. 2. Inadequate pedal press: Wearing shoes with very thick soles, such as platform shoes or height-increasing shoes, weakens the driver's perception of the pedal press depth, leading to excessive acceleration or deceleration.
