Avoid heels and flip flops while driving

The road safety charity Brake has urged drivers to always have suitable footwear when going behind the wheel following a new survey which revealed that many currently don’t.

The survey, commissioned by price comparison website Confused.com, found that 40% of women have driven in high heels with a similar number wearing flip flops. Slightly smaller percentages admitted driving in slippers and in bare feet with just over a third claiming to always wear sensible shoes when driving. Plenty of men also admitted driving barefoot or in flip flops although 57% said they would never wear unsuitable shoes. The survey also reported that 10% of women applied make-up while driving and 15% of men admitted shaving whilst at the wheel.

Commenting on the survey, Brake said that it was a serious topic. Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend, said: “It is deeply worrying that many drivers have such little regard for their own and others’ safety that they wear unsuitable footwear.” She added that driving was a responsibility that had to be taken seriously.

Aged 91 I needed to rewrite my will and transfer my affairs from a city-centre solicitor to one more accessible for myself and my executors. Winston proved an ideal choice. Emily was most helpful and efficient with the will, and I am confident that my estate will be dealt with just as well.

I recently had my will written by Winston's Solicitors, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From my very first contact with the firm, every member of staff was professional, courteous, and attentive to my needs.The solicitor who handled my will took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood each part of the process and felt confident in the decisions I was making. There was no rushing or jargon — just clear, patient guidance through what can often feel like a daunting task.What stood out most was the consistent professionalism across the entire team, from initial enquiry to the final signing. It's clear that client care is a genuine priority at this firm, not just a tagline.I'd happily recommend Winston's Solicitors to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional team to handle their will or other legal matters. Thank you for making the process so straightforward and stress-free.

We are very grateful to Winston Solicitors for their help in sorting out matters relating to a Last Will and Testament along with a Family Trust. As this was not a straightforward matter, we had no idea where to begin but, thanks to Monika Volsing and her team, this has now been completed. It has taken a good few months but Monika has been there to explain and carry out every step that needed to be undertaken. There is no way we could have done this without Winston Solicitors and I cannot recommend them highly enough

Excellent support with a CHC case - James Urquhart-Burton took time to listen to our situation, helped us focus on the relevant issues, and explained the process clearly. His guidance gave us confidence that the case was being properly prepared ahead of the MDT meeting. We felt supported throughout and were grateful for the care, professionalism and attention to detail shown by James and the wider team. I would happily recommend him and Winston Solicitors to anyone dealing with a CHC matter.
