Heels under 4 centimeters are permissible for driving. Below is an introduction to traffic regulations: 1. Overview: Traffic road operation rules, officially known as the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China. 2. Point Deductions: (1) 12 points: Driving a vehicle that does not match the licensed type, driving under the influence of alcohol, fleeing after causing a traffic accident, etc. (2) 6 points: Driving during the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is temporarily suspended, violating traffic signal rules while driving, etc. (3) 3 points: Carrying passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20% in passenger vehicles other than commercial buses or school buses.

Wearing high heels while driving is extremely dangerous. I've personally seen drivers in stilettos slip while braking. Although there's no specific height limit, anything over 4 centimeters is like walking on stilts - you can't use your ankle strength properly. Especially during emergency braking, the heel can easily get stuck under the pedal. I now keep a pair of flat shoes under the driver's seat and change into them when driving. If you must wear heels, keep them under 3 centimeters - wedge heels or thick heels are slightly more stable. But honestly, thin-soled sneakers are the most reliable. Driving is a matter of life and death - safety matters more than looking good, don't you think?

Honestly, driving in high heels is something you often see on traffic tickets. I've been warned twice for wearing 6cm stilettos. Now I drive much more properly, usually wearing flat canvas shoes or thin-soled loafers. As for heel height, it's best not to exceed twice the thickness of your foot sole - otherwise stepping on pedals feels like stepping on cotton. Especially with automatic transmission cars where your right foot constantly shifts between gas and brake, high heels make ankle movement difficult. I've seen traffic footage of accidents where female drivers in high heels braked half a beat too slow and rear-ended others. Safety first - I always keep dedicated driving shoes in my car.

Having driven for over a decade, I've witnessed too many accidents caused by high heels. Last week at our community gate, someone wearing 8cm heels scraped against the guardrail. The most dangerous are chunky platform shoes – they seem stable but actually have gaps. I recommend keeping heels under 4cm, ensuring your sole can fully contact the pedal base. Some brands offer driving-specific shoes with anti-slip rubber on the forefoot, which is very practical. Manual transmission drivers need extra caution – without heel support during gear changes, it's easy to misstep. If you must wear heels, opt for detachable ones; remove the heel and store it in the glove compartment when driving.
