Is it permissible to drive with 4cm high heels?
1 Answers
No. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving while wearing slippers, high heels exceeding 4cm, barefoot, or holding a phone for calls—actions that impede safe driving—is prohibited. Violators will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a fine. Driving with 3cm heels is allowed. Below are the impacts of driving in high heels: 1. Prone to getting stuck in gaps: Due to the excessive height of the heels (above 4cm), when the driver attempts to press the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get caught in the gap between the pedal (brake or accelerator) and the car floor, preventing full depression of the pedal and severely affecting normal driving. 2. Heels are prone to getting stuck: When switching between the accelerator and brake pedals, the heel can easily get stuck during the transition. 3. Reduced pedal sensitivity: Wearing shoes with overly thick soles, such as platform shoes or height-increasing shoes, diminishes the foot's sensitivity to pedal depth, leading to excessive acceleration or deceleration.
