Is it not allowed to drive in high heels?
1 Answers
Driving in high heels is not illegal, but it is a traffic violation. The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" does not explicitly stipulate whether driving in high heels is allowed. However, many local regulations clearly prohibit behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as wearing slippers, high heels (with heels over 4 centimeters), driving barefoot, or smoking. If an accident is caused by wearing 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 Handing over the motor vehicle to someone who does not have a driver's license, whose license has been revoked or suspended, or who is otherwise unqualified to drive; 2.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. Chasing each other on two-wheeled motorcycles or light motorcycles, clinging to other vehicles, engaging in zigzag racing, or carrying passengers in front of the driver; 5. Driving a tractor with a towed trailer whose total mass exceeds the tractor's permissible towing mass.
