Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Illinois?
After spending an afternoon at North Avenue Beach in Chicago, I always want to take off my shoes before getting back into my car. I don’t want to track sand in. Can I drive barefoot in Illinois? Or is it illegal?

Sand can be tough to get out of your car, but feel free to leave your sandals in the trunk. It is not illegal to drive barefoot in
Illinois
.While it is not illegal to drive barefoot in Illinois, local law enforcement may recommend that you do wear shoes. Here are a couple of reasons why:
- Without shoes, your feet could slip off the pedals more easily.
- If you take off your shoes while in the driver’s seat, they could interfere with the gas and brake pedals.
- If you’re involved in a car accident while barefoot, your claim could be invalidated if it is determined you were barefoot.
Living in Illinois can be expensive, especially if you live in downtown Chicago. Balance your budget with
