Drivers could receive a fine, nine points and even a ban if caught wearing flip flops behind the wheel.
Rule 97 of the Highway Code states you must wear clothing and footwear which "does not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner," the Mirror reports. Although the rule is technically not against the law, it does make you liable for a "driving without due care and attention" charge.
The charge carries a £100 on-the-spot fine and three penalty points on your licence. If it goes to court then it could rise to the maximum penalty of a £5,000 fine, nine penalty points and even a driving ban.
