Question 4558

Is it appropriate to ride a motorcycle while wearing sandals?

  1. It makes no difference; footwear does not affect motorcycle riding.
  2. Yes, because footwear should allow the foot to breathe.
  3. No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, under no circumstances.

No. As a rule, motorcycle riders and passengers must wear closed footwear that covers the entire foot, on all types of roads. Sandals leave your feet exposed and do not protect them in a fall. The rider in the image is wearing sandals and is not following that rule.
