Show answer

Correct answer

ANo.No.

Explanation

Sandals do not protect the foot in a fall and do not hold it firmly to work the rear brake and the gear lever. So they are not suitable and, in addition, since 1 October 2026 Article 118 of the General Traffic Regulations requires closed footwear covering the whole foot on a motorcycle.
