Do You Drive In Thongs?

[icyfroth]

No?

What about the ones on your feet?

Studies have revealed that it's more dangerous than driving barefoot than to drive with thongs.

Yumi and Sami said so on this morning's breakfast show.

I have a special pair of flats that I keep in my car to drive in. I used to drive to work in my high heels but found not only was I gouging a big hole into the carpet, but scuffing the backs of my good shoes.

If I kicked off my shoes to drive in stockinged feet the tiny little bits of grit in the carpet woud ladder my panty-hose.

So now when I get into my car I kick off my shoes and put on my driving flats. When I get out of the car I kick off the flats and slip back into my heels.

Now I'm in a routine, it works well for me.

I wear thongs but I put a clean pair on every day, I drive with them on but wear jeans over the top to stop cheek abrasions.

Nope, I kick them off when I get in.

Back in the old days-learner drivers were encouraged to drive in bare feet.

Just to get the feel of the accelerator clutch and brake in a manual car.

I dont drive wearing thongs --had a couple of miscues in the past..............Richo.

I don't wear thongs, I do wear sandals. Depending on how well fitted they are as to if I wear them while driving. A couple of times sandals have slipped off while driving and once one of them lodged itselfs behind the brake pedal

yes

I do sometimes but know I shouldn't.  The thongs I wear in summer are usually dressy so 

I think they are tighter on the foot.  

Yes Icy,  they hurt to break in.   Every summer I have to do it all over again.

Yes, mine are tighter on the foot than the old floppy loose ones. I can't see how they could get caught up on anything.
