"BEAR" Feet ??
What ??
Some kind of furry slippers ??

Not aware of a specific law but the Highway Code says you must ensure that "clothing and footwear do not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner". If you think your footwear might - even might - affect your ability to control the car - don't do it, there are more than enough idiots on the road, and you could potentially be hauled up for Dangerous Driving.

It is illegal to drive with bare feet or without shoes in the US for safety reasons. Not sure about the UK, but it should not be allowed anywhere


Is Dave Curious?.....
I think the bear may take offence!

I think you will be ok with Polar Bear feet but any others and you'll be risking your licence.

Kelli550 says it is illegal but i dont see that it is your hardly going to get caught are you so if you feel comfortable driving in bare feet then go on let you hair down

No, but a little bit difficult. But not as difficult as driving in duck feet.

my brother went out to the off licence late at night a couple of years back and as it was only round the corner he didn't put his shoes on, on his way back he saw a man trying to rape a woman in an alleyway, being a martial arts instructor he jumped out and bashed the guy then waited for the police who arrested the guy. when he told the copper what happened he looked and said were you driving like that coz i could arrest you for driving in bare feet. so i guess the answer is yes it is illegal in britain.
true story it was in the papers and everything. it was only when the woman reminded the copper what my brother had done that he agreed to drop it.

Bare feet, and in Mississippi it's called improper equipment, and you can get a ticket for it.

Yes it is against the law to drive without shoes on. The reason you must be wearing shoes or sandals is because you can lose grip on the brake or accelerator. Also you could potentially cut your foot on something in your car and become distracted.

Yes it is an offence to drive with bear feet.

Yes it is !

Like the USA I believe that it is, You cannot apply as much pressure to the brake in bare feet as you can in shoes.

I am a water-skier and have driven my cars, barefoot for many years, with no complaints.


'Rickaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Yes IT IS don't listen to anyone who says it isn't. Victoria Beckham got caught doing in but they let her off (obviously coz she's a celeb). Yeah i've done it a few times but it's risky if u get pulled over and the pigs see.


from HJ
Bears can't drive.


Rhinorm
It all depends on how fur you drive, and visa vursa.

Always, always ask the bear's permission first, making sure he has a courtesy pair to use.

lol first of all, bear is an animal...the word you're looking for is bare. Anyways, I don't know about in the UK but here in the US, driving with bare feet is illegal as a safety precaution.
