What if you have a disability and drive with hand controls? Do you need to have shoes on then? What if you wear shoes and one of them comes while you’re driving? What if you are just wearing socks?

See, I could understand the unsafe part of this. The sudden spasm of the shoe. . .the subsequent stickiness of the pedals. . .
