Texas Answer Yes it is illegal to drive with out shoes on, sandles on, flip flops on. The real reason pavement can get really hot and should you puncture a tire, the police and I will see you bare foot standing/ jumping up and down on the side of the hot road. Or walking several miles to get a can of petrol, gasoline or water for an overheated engine OUCH!

I am sure that if a police officer stopped you for that, he may well find you to not be in 'proper control of the vehicle'. Of course that is debatable but in the main, and I think we would all agree, it is difficult to be in full and positive control of a vehicle without shoes. They obviously spread the load in a safe and positive way on the pedals. Anyway, it would simply be uncomfortable if not unsafe.

In the UK it is considered you do not have sufficient control over the car if you drive with no shoes and is therefore an offence.

no I took my driving test without shoes as i find it more comfortable & have more grip on the peddles. If it was illegal surely I would have failed my test before leaving the test centre. Glad to say though that I passed!!!!!!

I sure hope not cause i have done it... not a very safe thing to do though... i can tell ya from experience that one alternative you DO NOT want to do is drive a standard with flip flops on... lol that was a nightmare to say the least.

It is a driving offence because you are not in complete control of the vehicle and it is usually a fixed penalty
