Short answer: no, it’s not illegal to drive barefoot in Victoria. There’s no specific rule banning naked toes; the law simply requires you to maintain proper control of the vehicle (think general “proper control” provisions). If your footwear—or lack of it—has you fumbling pedals like a first piano lesson, you could be pinged for failing to have proper control or even careless driving. Barefoot can give better feel than slippery thongs, but watch out for hot pedals, wet feet, and emergency stops. If there’s a crash, expect insurers to ask whether anything compromised control. So yes, drive barefoot if you like—just make sure you can operate the pedals safely and consistently.
