Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Pennsylvania?

Every Tuesday night is sand volleyball night at the local bar. I always hate putting my shoes back on after the game is over. Can I drive barefoot in Pennsylvania?

Good news—you don’t have to put your shoes back on! It is not illegal to drive barefoot in
Pennsylvania
.
Just because it is not illegal to drive barefoot, we don’t necessarily recommend it. There are some associated risks. Here are the details:
  • Shoes typically provide better grip compared to bare feet. You don’t want your foot to slip off the pedals.
  • Removing your shoes while driving could obstruct the gas and brake pedals.
  • Driving barefoot could be considered negligence by your car insurance company. If you are in a car accident while driving barefoot, there is a possibility that your claim will be denied—regardless of direct causation.
