After a long day walking along the beaches of Indiana Dunes National Park, the last thing I want to do is put my sandy feet back in my tennis shoes. Can I drive barefoot in Indiana?
Even though you won’t get a ticket, Indiana law enforcement will likely recommend that you drive with shoes. Here’s some logic for their reasoning:
Driving without shoes can make it more likely for your foot to slip off of the pedals.
Your shoes can interfere with the gas and brake pedals if taken off while driving.
Even if it isn’t necessarily correlated, an insurance claim can be invalidated if it’s determined that you were operating the vehicle barefoot at the time of an accident.
