Is it illegal to drive barefoot?

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

So much easier for me to drive barefoot. I've big feet, with shoes on I can catch, say the brake for example when using the clutch.

As for headphones, aren't they included in the new "careless" driving laws next week?

Are deaf people allowed to drive? If they are then there is nothing they can do.

Different.

Sensory overload through loud music != no auditory input at all.

its makes you wish you could just drive bare foot.

In Britain in 2008 if it is not expressly permitted, then it is forbidden. Not vice versa like it used to be.

If you were getting done for it it would be driving without due care and attention or a similar charge, you wouldnt be getting done for not wearing shoes, but how you were driving

I think that was a political comment, rather then a factual one.

I do seem to recall my old fella (copper for 30+yrs from the late 60's onwards) telling me something along the lines that this used to be the law years back (probably some hangover from an old victorian law about riding horses or some such) but i have never heard of anyone getting done for it in the last 20 yrs.

Mm, I did think that but for some reason considered it might have something to do with new motoring legislation it must be getting close to lunchtime :s

barefoot in the summer for the win, especially long distance!

There was a thread on PistonHeads that mentions it not being illegal in the UK, but it is in Scotland and Ireland, though no references to specific laws were given.
