Four years ago, New York State enacted stricter licensing rules. Since the law was instituted, the state has seen some of its deadly statistics fall. Statewide, 60 drivers ages 16 and 17 were involved in fatal car accidents in 2005. In 2002, the number of 16- and 17-year-old drivers involved in fatal crashes was 82. In 2002, 192 drivers ages 18 to 20 were involved in fatal accidents; in 2005, the number was 140.
Q: Is there any law against driving barefoot? Second, is it legal to exceed the speed limit when passing another vehicle?
A: “After researching the subject, there appears to be no specific section of the Montana Code Annotated that specifically addresses wearing shoes and driving. While driving without shoes on does not seem to be codified (lawyer talk for illegal), should driving without shoes cause one to drive unsafely or if the same interferes with one’s driving, (it) still could be grounds for the issuance of a citation.”
