It could land you in trouble
You could find yourself in serious trouble if you get behind the wheel during a heatwave wearing flip flops.
It means that if you are in an accident and you are found to be wearing flip flops you could be liable for "driving without due care and attention" - which carries a £100 on the spot fine and three penalty points on your licence. If the case goes to court that fine rises to a maximum penalty of £5,000, with nine penalty points and potentially a driving ban.
"Driving in flip flops can create a dangerous driving environment, and put you, your passengers, and other road users at risk."
