We\u2019ve all gone to run a quick errand or grab a hamburger at the nearby McDonald\u2019s, meaning that you probably did so in a pair of flip flops and casual outfit. Have you ever wondered if a lack of clothing or doing an activity while driving can make it illegal to be behind the wheel? If you\u2019re wondering if it\u2019s illegal to drive shoeless, in sandals, shirtless, or while wearing headphones in Texas, we have the answers you need.<\/p>\n

Without Shoes<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re already a different breed if you walk around barefoot in Texas with all the stickers, thorns, and creepy crawlies in the grass. With that said, it isn\u2019t illegal to drive shoeless in Texas. However, we certainly don\u2019t advise doing so. The last thing you\u2019ll want is for your foot to slip as you\u2019re driving, causing a potentially costly and catastrophic accident.<\/p>\n

With Flip Flops<\/h3>\n

Much like the barefoot question, driving with flip flops is also not illegal in Texas. But, again, we don\u2019t recommend doing it since they can slip from the pedals or fall from your feet. We recommend keeping a pair of shoes in your vehicle for when you get behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

Shirtless<\/h3>\n

Have you ever driven shirtless and nervously looked out for law enforcement, afraid you\u2019d get pulled over? Don\u2019t worry because there isn\u2019t a specific law saying you can\u2019t drive shirtless in Texas. However, keep in mind that, in certain situations, your lack of a shirt can be considered indecent exposure.<\/p>\n

With Headphones<\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t anything wrong with jamming out to a song while driving. And while there isn\u2019t a law in Texas that specifically states you can\u2019t drive while wearing headphones, it can be considered distracted driving. It also isn\u2019t safe because you won\u2019t hear sirens, pedestrians, or other drivers! View More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
