I would drive barefoot when I was in florida, but that was because I was either wearing flipflops or Dr. Scholl's and it was just easier to slip the danged thing off.........i was always under the impression it was illegal to drive barefoot just about everywhere else.
It is illegal to drive without shoes in most states. That's because the old fashioned gas pedal and clutch got hot and burned your tootsies. And then OOOPS, an accident happened. I think that law is on the books just for fun nowadays.
Dunno about that, but kickstarting a motorcycle in bare feet sucks. LOL.
