Is it illegal to drive barefoot?

If there was to be a law about what to wear (or not wear) on your feet when driving, the flip-flop would be a more worthy target for prohibition than a bare foot.

I am told that it is illegal to drive a vehicle in bare feet. If this is true, then why is it against the law? Evans

I think this is a myth.It has been a widespread rumour in many parts of the world for decades (pre-dating the invention of servo-assisted brakes) and always wearing shoes to drive is still recommended in many markets. But, to the best of my limited knowledge, it is not a specific statute.
