Question

Why do some say it's dangerous to drive barefoot?

Answer 1

No idea, I drive better barefoot. I've heard it's illegal but when I'm wearing flip flops I'd rather take them off rather than end up getting in a 60mph accident in a parking lot like my friend did when his flip flop some how got him in a jam. As I recall I took my driving test barefoot so either the DMV doesn't pay attention or doesn't care.

Answer 2

it's because you have a greater tendency to slip when you're barefoot compared to a rubber-soled shoe. driving in flipflops is a bad idea! anything that hangs from your foot is bad footwear to drive in.

it's best to wear thin, rubber-soled footwear while driving. for ladies, that would probably be those things that look like ballet shoes, and for men (and ladies too), maybe chuck taylors or other sneakers with thin soles.

if you're wearing leather shoes, then it's best to make sure the soles are dry before you start driving.

Answer 3

because they are retarded
