Hope your trip lives up to the hype! It is not illegal to drive barefoot in
Massachusetts
.
Even though it’s not against the law to drive barefoot in Massachusetts, it may still be a good idea to wear shoes. Here are some reasons why:
  • Your feet can slip off of the pedals without the extra grip of your shoes.
  • Taking off your shoes can interfere with the gas and brake pedals if you slip them off while driving.
  • Insurance companies could deny your coverage claim if they know you were driving barefoot.
These are just recommendations—it is not against the law to drive barefoot in Massachusetts. One recommendation we think you should take 100% seriously is using the
