We’re planning a family trip to the Lake of the Ozarks this summer and I want to make sure I am familiar with local law. Can I drive barefoot in Missouri?

The Lake of the Ozarks is a great family vacation destination! You can explore the beaches freely—it is not illegal to drive barefoot in
Missouri
.
Missouri law enforcement won’t ticket you for driving barefoot, but they may give you some advice on why you should wear shoes while driving. Here’s what they might tell you:
  • Your insurance company could deny a car accident claim if you were driving barefoot. Driving barefoot, in certain cases, can be linked to negligence.
  • Shoes provide greater grip on the gas and brake pedals.
  • When you slip off your shoes while driving, they could interfere with the pedals.
