Is It Allowed to Drive in High Heels?

[AlexaLee]

Driving in high heels is not considered illegal, but it is a traffic violation. The 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' does not explicitly prohibit driving in high heels, but many local regulations clearly state that behaviors such as wearing slippers, high heels (with heels over 4 centimeters), driving barefoot, or smoking, which may impede safe driving, are not allowed. If an accident occurs due to driving in high heels, it constitutes illegal behavior. For example, Article 49 of the implementation measures of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' in Zhejiang Province stipulates that motor vehicle owners, managers, or drivers must not engage in the following behaviors: 1. Handing over the motor vehicle to someone without a driver's license, whose license has been revoked or suspended, or who is otherwise unqualified to drive; 2. Driving barefoot, in slippers, or in high heels; 3. Using a handheld phone while driving; 4. While driving a two-wheeled motorcycle or a light motorcycle, chasing other vehicles, holding onto other vehicles, driving in a zigzag manner, or carrying a passenger in front of the driver; 5. Driving a tractor with a trailer whose total mass exceeds the tractor's permissible towing mass.
