Is it safe to drive in 5cm high heels?

[SarahAnn]

5cm high heels are not suitable for driving. According to traffic safety regulations, driving while wearing slippers, high heels over 4cm, barefoot, or holding a phone call is prohibited as these actions hinder safe driving. Violators will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a fine. The negative effects of driving in high heels are as follows: 1. Affects braking or acceleration: Due to the excessive heel height (over 4cm), when the driver attempts to press the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get stuck in the gap between the pedal (brake or accelerator) and the car floor, preventing full pedal depression and severely impairing normal driving. 2. Difficulty switching between pedals: When transitioning between the accelerator and brake pedals, the heel is prone to getting stuck during the switch. 3. Reduced pedal depth perception: Wearing shoes with thick soles, such as platform shoes or height-increasing shoes, weakens the foot's perception of pedal depth, leading to excessive acceleration or deceleration.
