Guardia Civil Clarifies Summer Driving Rules: Are Heels Permitted Behind the Wheel?

Madrid, Spain - As summer approaches, a common question among drivers regarding appropriate footwear has been addressed by the Spanish Guardia Civil. In a recent public information video, an officer clarified the regulations concerning driving with high-heeled or platform shoes. The officer stated that, contrary to popular belief, there is no explicit prohibition against driving while wearing high heels or platform shoes in Spain. However, he emphasized a crucial caveat: the use of such footwear is only permissible as long as it does not impede the driver's control of the vehicle or increase the risk of an accident. 'The dilemma of all summers has a clear answer,' the officer explained, holding up a pair of high heels. 'Yes, these can be used, unless their use interferes with driving and could cause an accident.' The video concluded with a lighthearted demonstration, where the officer humorously attempted to walk and move while wearing the high heels, subtly illustrating the potential difficulties and risks associated with driving in footwear that compromises pedal control. This informative yet engaging approach aims to raise awareness and ensure road safety during the summer season.
