All of us have our little weaknesses that we can be just a little ashamed. For some it’s eating sweets in the dark, for someone watching a strange television show, and for someone – driving barefoot.
Many just love this simple way of showing of recklessness, carelessness and easy rebellion. However, the legalities of driving barefoot in the United States? On this, as a rule, do not speak the driving course, because very few people come to mind to think about such trifles. And we will try to figure this out.
Legal or not?
The good news is that in US law there are no lawsthat directly prohibit driving barefoot or require the driver to always drive in shoes. According to the Society for Barefoot Living, barefoot driving is legal in all 50 States.
In addition, often driving barefoot is not only not forbidden, but highly desirable. This clause is not applicable if the driver was wearing uncomfortable shoes such as stiletto high heels, unreliable flip-flops or massive and heavy shoes, which can increase the pressure on the gas pedal.
On the website of the police of the state of Michigan, the illegality of driving barefoot tops the list of urban legends associated with driving. No matter whether the driver is wearing as long as he copes with the vehicle and complies with all rules of the road.
Caution never hurts
T0 despite the lack of shoes on my feet while driving can let you feel carefree, do not forget about your safety, and the safety of other road users.
If a barefoot driver breaks the rules or gets into an accident, the traffic police officer can still arrest him for careless driving. The fact that driving barefoot is not in itself contrary to the law, will not save you if your refusal shoes while driving will cause an accident.
