How high can high heels be when driving?
1 Answers
According to traffic safety regulations, it is prohibited to drive while wearing slippers or high heels with heels of 4cm or more, barefoot, or talking on the phone while holding it. Violators will be penalized with 2 demerit points and a certain fine. High heels with 3cm heels are technically allowed for driving, but wearing such shoes may be considered as skirting the edge of the regulations. For safety reasons, it is recommended to wear flat shoes or sneakers when driving. High heels can easily get stuck: Because the heel is too high (over 4cm), when the driver tries to step on the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get stuck in the gap between the pedal (brake pedal) and the car floor, making it difficult to press the pedal properly and seriously affecting normal driving. When switching between the accelerator and brake pedals, the heel can easily get stuck during the transition. Improper stepping: Wearing shoes with overly thick soles, such as platform shoes or height-increasing shoes, weakens the foot's perception of pedal depth, leading to excessive acceleration or deceleration.
