What is the maximum height of shoes allowed for driving?
1 Answers
Driving is allowed with shoes up to 4 centimeters in height. Relevant regulations prohibit behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as wearing slippers, high heels over 4 centimeters, driving barefoot, or holding a phone while talking. Violations will result in a 2-point deduction and a certain fine. The following details shoes that should not be worn while driving motor vehicles: 1. Slippers: Whether they are hard sandals or soft flip-flops, the shoes are not firmly fixed to the feet, making it easy for the feet to slip out or for the shoes to get stuck under the floor mat or pedals, affecting braking. 2. High heels: Stiletto heels are particularly dangerous for driving, as they are prone to getting stuck, and the high heels make it difficult to maintain balance and control the pressure applied to the pedals, leading to delays in switching between the accelerator and brake, which is very hazardous. 3. Platform shoes: Fashion-conscious women may prefer thick-soled platform sandals or boots, but these shoes are cumbersome. The thick soles create a significant "barrier" between the feet and the pedals, and the heels feel as if they are propped up, making it hard to gauge the pressure applied when switching between the accelerator and brake, resulting in inflexible operation.
