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.

Client feedback

Excellent. Engaged, honest and quick throughout. When they said something would be done, it was. Couldn't be happier.

I found Sidraa to be very thorough, proactively raising questions about the conveyance even before I had asked her myself. All communication was clear and regular updates provided, which was very helpful.It was a stressful process (what house move isn’t!)due to an issue dragging on, no fault on the Solicitors’ part but meant exchange and completion in quick succession! Ultimately, Sidraa and Tom worked very hard to achieve the completion date everyone wanted so thank you 🙏

Emily was a very patient and supportive lady, as we were not very clued in to dealing with some of the internet issues and she guided us through it.Emily made altering our wills a breeze, would use this firm Winston solicitors 100 percent for all our business.

Leasa and the team at Winston solicitors have been really good. Leasa was very thorough in her work helping me with my house purchase. I can highly recommend her and Winston solicitors for conveyancing.

Winston Solicitors are the best solicitor firm I have dealt with. They helped sell my house. Sidraa and Tom were always communicating with me and turned things round quickly when I was going out of the country. I would definitely use them again and that’s not the case usually with solicitor firms.
