Hot Weather Driving: You could be fined £5,000 for driving in flip-flops

To ensure that you avoid any drowsiness or light-headedness while on the roads this week, make sure the AC is on at a comfortable level or keep a window down to make sure you stay cool!Under Rule 97 of the Highway Code, drivers are advised they must have “footwear and clothing which does not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner.

The best way to get around this problem is to keep an extra pair of old trainers or flat shoes in your car to put on while you’re driving!If you usually use glasses to drive, try out some prescription sunglasses so your vision is not impacted and your eyes are still protected from the UV rays. Leave a greater distance between you and the car in front of you: bright light reduces your reaction time so leaving that little more extra room will make sure you’re covered.“Although many people are unaware of these Highway Code Rules, it’s important to know the laws of the road, not only to avoid being financially penalised, but to also keep everyone safe while driving.
