What kind of shoes are appropriate for driving

A previous survey by the British Automobile Association found that 27% of men and women were uncomfortable while driving when they wore inappropriate shoes. 5% of people step on the brakes or the accelerator in reverse, causing the vehicle to lose control or even have an accident. Therefore, it is very important to choose a pair of suitable shoes. Today, it is necessary for Chungu to talk to friends about wearing shoes while driving. some things. What is the effect of wearing different shoes while driving?

To put it simply, because what shoes you wear directly affects the accelerator and brake pedals. Of course, friends who drive manual transmissions will also step on the clutch pedal. How important the accelerator and brake are to the car, there is no need to say more about it. 

What shoes are inappropriate to wear while driving?

Car owners and friends should all know that you cannot drive with bare feet, otherwise you will be deducted points and money. The "Traffic Safety Law" clearly stipulates that when driving, there must be no behaviors such as wearing slippers, wearing high heels of more than 4 cm, bare feet, and using mobile phones to make calls that hinder safe driving. Those who violate the regulations will be deducted 2 points and imposed a certain fine.

1. Basketball shoes

Basketball shoes are quite unsuitable for driving, because basketball shoes have air cushions, airbags, and various cushioning designs in the structure of basketball shoes. It is actually difficult to directly fit between the soles of the feet and the soles of basketball shoes, which affects the operating experience. . Basketball shoes are generally wider, and you may step on the accelerator and brake when you step down. Even if you can't step on it, it may get stuck in the center of the accelerator and brake, which has a certain safety hazard. On one point, basketball shoes are generally heavier, and they are not very dexterous when driving.

2. hiking shoes

Mountaineering shoes are generally heavier and have a high upper, which will limit the movement of the ankle, which is not convenient enough. Moreover, the soles are thick and hard, and they are designed so that you don't feel pain when stepping on a rock when climbing a mountain. When driving, it is difficult to get feedback from the accelerator and brakes, and there is basically no foot feel. How much do you feel when you step on the brake pedal, so Wheelani is not very recommended.

3. Pointed-toe shoes

Pointed-toe shoes increase the possibility of stepping empty.

4. High heels, slippers

When driving in high heels, the brakes may not be fully applied, or the seat adjustment position may be set to the rear, because the heel of the high heels raises the fulcrum of the foot, which invisibly increases the strength and angle of the brake pedal, and the female driver needs to stand on tiptoe Step on your toes hard to achieve a normal pedaling effect.

A research experiment was done abroad: a female driver drove at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and then stepped on the brakes. In the first experiment, the vehicle slid a distance of 12.3 meters before stopping the car while wearing high-heeled shoes. The second time I wore platform shoes, the braking distance was 6.9 meters; the third time, the most timely braking was driving in flat shoes, but at this speed, the braking distance still reached more than 4 meters. Slippers, I won't say more about Lun Gu, I believe you understand.

5. Shoes that girls like to wear everyday

Girls prefer to wear platform shoes, high leather boots, cave shoes, UGG and other strange shapes are not very suitable. For example: because the front of the sneakers is very wide, it is easy to get stuck when you step on it and lift it up. Just imagine, if you stepped on the accelerator at that time, you couldn't lift it up, and the car in front of you just stopped. Oh, that picture really can't think of it...

Platform shoes The results of the second experiment mentioned above can be seen, wearing platform shoes, the braking distance is 6.9 meters.

Summarize:

Characteristics of shoes that are not suitable for driving: too wide, heavy shoes, slippery soles, poor fit.

What kind of shoes should I wear while driving?

The best shoes for driving should meet these four requirements: not too wide, the shoe is light, the sole is not too slippery, and the fit is good.

1. Don't be too wide, otherwise it is easy to hook the brake;

2. The sole is better to be thinner, so that the driving will not be too tired, the accelerator and brake feedback, and the foot feel is better;

3. The soles should not be too smooth, otherwise you are almost the same as driving with bare feet;

4. The fit with the foot will be higher, that is, the foot feels better.

Breathable shoes, canvas shoes, flat-toed shoes, light running shoes are most suitable

If you are driving for a long time, it is recommended to find a good breathable shoe. In general, canvas shoes, flat-toed shoes and some lighter running shoes are relatively suitable.

Suggest:

For convenience, friends can also prepare a pair of shoes that are suitable for driving as mentioned above in the car, put them on when you get in the car, and put them on when you get off the car. After all, driving is not a casual thing. Take responsibility for yourself and others! Because it's about life! All car owners and friends may wish to refer to it.
