With this week’s temperatures reaching above 30 degrees this week, it’s tempting to live in your flip flops.Getting behind the wheel in flip flops is quite common, with 39% of women and 27% of men admitting to having driven in the shoes.

The Driving Standards agency advise that “suitable shoes are particularly important behind the wheel” and add that they “would not recommend driving barefoot” either “because you don’t have the same braking force with bare feet as you do with shoes on”.
