Well you remember I can wear sandals all year here - so I just slip out of them in the car - I just don't feel as comfortable driving in shoes -
i am serious in saying my parents must have told me not to, and that is why i had never done it. i can see how you would have a better feel (literally) for the amount of pressure you are exerting on the gas pedal etc.i have pulled the car in the garage from the driveway in bare feet.
I just slip off my right shoe. I can't drive with shoes on either. That's why I wear sandals. If I wear high heels with a buckle strap, it takes me forever to buckle the strap because of my crappy hands.
