Wearing the correct shoes while driving plays a big part in driving safety. But people still continue to drive in heels, sandals or even no shoes. 

Wearing the wrong footwear could cause accidents on the roads!

The Do's and Dont's:

• The sole of the shoe is very important in determining what type of footwear to use. The sole should neither be too thick or too thin. 
• It should not be too soft or too flexible and it should have enough grip on the pedal to avoid slipping. 
• It should be lightweight to enable easy movement. 
• It should not hinder ankle movement in working various pedals. 
• It should not be unnecessarily wide as to cause stepping on two pedals at the same time. 

The best shoes for driving are shoes that you are comfortable in like trainers or plain flat shoes. 

The best way to avoid shoe problems is to carry a spare pair - most of us have an old pair of shoes that we know are both comfortable and safe that can be kept in the car to wear for driving.
