Driving wearing slippers

[p_borj]

Tsikoteers there, maitanong ko lang sana, hindi ba nakalagay sa LTO Fines/Penalties na bawal ang naka-slippers/tsinelas habang nagdri-drive?

Ang hindi ako sure, ito ba ay para sa public utility vehicles lang ba or pati sa mga private driven vehicles? As you can see, mga 7 out of 10 drivers ang nagdri-drive ng naka-slippers.

Actually, all PUV drivers are required to dress properly with a collared shirt, pants, and shoes. But sadly, nobody's getting caught so they just make do with unhygienic practices. For private vehicles, since we won't be ferrying complete strangers, I think we're allowed to wear slippers when driving as long as we won't make a fool of ourselves with smelly feet.

Know what, I've heard over the radio that in Hawaii, a person who has a terrible smell is banned from any form of public transport or risk being fined $500.

minsan tsinelas lang ako magdrive pag dyan dyan lang o pupunta sa bahay ng kaklase ko. yung iba pa nga bare footed kung magdrive. i think eh hindi naman ata bawal sa private yan, sa public, oo bawal talaga yan

[woohoo]

Dunno where to find that ruling about not wearing slippers when driving, but I think one of the reasons is that the thong/"dahon" might get caught on the pedals and create untoward incidents/accidents.

I myself prefer driving barefoot (with socks, if I was wearing shoes upon riding). I feel more in control of the pedals that way.

Aside: I also make a habit of removing my shoes while seated at my office workstation. This way, my feet won't develop a nasty smell.

Naku pow, yung flip-flop style na Crocs ng erpat ko minsan sumasabit sa preno. Buti pa yung Duralite ko hindi ganon.

+1. Ako kasi, meron akong black shoes (okay ito pangdriving) pero kapag yung rubber shoes ko (medyo makapal ito) so nahihirapan ako. So more on naka-socks nalang din.

Naka-tsinelas naman ako kapag namamalengke ako or may bibilhin lang din sa tabi tabi. (alangan namang todo get-up pa ako hehe diba)

Mahirap yung high-cut na sapatos!

Ang alam ko e bawal lang sa public utility vehicle drivers ang naka-tsinelas. Kaso, hindi na nai-implement yan. Sa una lang sila masipag. Anyway, mas malamig kasi sa paa if naka-slippers lang. I know a few who drives barefooted. Pero hindi ko pa nasubukan yun.

[baludoy]

pag naka-sapatos ako tinatanggal ko iyon kasi mas madali masira o ma-upos ang heel eh (sayang kasi ) so ang gamit ko iyong tsinelas na pang i-sports aka sports sandals.

i'm not sure pero mas safe ata ito kumpara sa ordinary tsinelas

nangyayari rin sa akin yan :P

mas gusto ko walang suot na sapatos kasi mas ramdam ko yung pedal compared pag me suot ako na sapatos or tsinelas. Ika nga mas napapaswabe ko pa yung pagmamaneho pag barefooted

[roberto_minosa]

Dati naman nakakita ako ng Porsche Design tsaka Fila na driving shoes. Ang lufet...kaso hindi pwede pang-lakad, wala kasing tread. Ang sarap sana gamitin nun.



Walang mauupod na heel...

It's a P1000 fine for driving with slippers. Actually, you won't be apprehended for just driving with slippers, since enforcers can't actually see whether you have shoes or not (Only motorcyle drivers can be easily spotted wearing slippers), but this infraction may be slapped on you when ever you are apprehended for another violation.. My driver was apprehended for a minor traffic violation, he walks out of the van, and voila! he was slapped with this violation instead. Turns-out my driver had a swollen toe, but the LTO NCR officer was unforgiving. We decided to pay the fine instead when we claimed his license.

Turned-out, you can contest this citation as long as you have a doctor's certifcate to bring when you claim your license.

Penalty is applicable for Public utility and Private.

Inapply itong law na ito sa driving because pwede daw itong sanhi ng accidents on the road (sumabit ang slippers) and professionalism on "professional" drivers (public utility drivers).

Pero ako kasi kung ako ang tatanungin, kung naka-shoes ako, tapos like I said yung rubber shoes ko, makapal ito and iba ang feel ko sa mga pedals kapag suot ko ito unlike naka-slippers. Mas comfortable ako naka-slippers. Well para sa akin hindi porke naka-shoes eh drastically mababawasan ang accidents sa kalsada.

Last, not all the times you will wear your shoes when you go out, like I said sa taas, mamamalengke lang ako, todo get-up pa hehe. Wearing shoes means wearing socks din kung hindi smelly feet ka niyan hehe.

Amen brader! Kung ano ano kasi naiisip na batas eh wala naman sa lugar...

How 'bout sandals? Ako kasi naka-socks ako pag nagdadrive tapos pag lalabas na mabilisan lang, sinusuot ko yung Merrel ko na sandals, yung walang harang sa likod, sa harap lang.

Pero when I go to work syempre shoes ang suot ko.

Pag grocery lang, sandals lang suot ko, bawal pala yun?
