Show answer

Correct answer

  • ANo, en ningún caso.No, never.
Explanation

Sandals do not hold the foot firmly, make it harder to work the rear brake and the gear lever, and give no protection in a fall. In addition, from 1 October 2026, Article 118 of the General Traffic Regulations requires motorcycle riders and passengers to wear closed footwear that covers the whole foot.
