Is it legal to drive with no shoes on? I wear flips so I kick them off but my sister keeps telling me I can get a ticket for that...can I?

    There is no law, in the United States, that forbids driving a motor vehicle, without shoes.

    There is only one possible exception:

    Being involved in an auto accident and not wearing shoes was a contributing factor.

    Then, a citation could be issued for careless driving.

    You live in Florida. I have scanned the Fla. motor vehicle statutes, and found no mention of barefoot driving.

    I have never heard definitively if this is or is not illegal...but I too drive barefoot and if I get pulled over, just to be on the safe side I slip my shoes back on.

    I know that in Texas, they can give you a ticket for driving without shoes. I've never known them to do so, but there's always a first.

    Since I was a teenager, I have heard this business about barefoot driving. But I am not personally aware of any law that says specifically that you may not drive barefoot. FYI, I love to drive barefoot in the summer.

    It is illegal, but who's gonna know?
    The only way to get fined for such a silly thing is if you are first caught for a more serious offense, such as DUI, and the officer just happens to notice you are barefoot.
