It is advisable not to drive a car wearing flip-flops. This recommendation is based on the need to have full control of the vehicle's pedals. Flip-flops do not give the foot proper grip and support, so the footwear can slip or come off, which makes using the pedals harder and increases the risk of an accident. This is linked to the driver's obligation to have full control of their vehicle at all times, as set out in the General Traffic Regulations.
