What are the standards for driving in sandals?
1 Answers
According to traffic regulations, driving with heeled sandals is permitted and will not result in penalties or demerit points. However, wearing strapless sandals is punishable as they are considered equivalent to slippers. Per regulations, driving a motor vehicle while wearing slippers is a violation subject to fines and a 2-point deduction. Below are some important notes regarding car driving: Cold engine warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. Timely gear shifting: During the break-in period for manual transmission vehicles, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect practices like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and refrain from prolonged use of a single gear. Scheduled maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual for timely inspections and maintenance at specified mileage or time intervals, including oil and oil filter changes, along with a comprehensive chassis system check. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases impact loads on the vehicle's chassis and engine.
