is it illegal to drive in thongs in victoria

Driving in thongs (flip-flops) in Victoria isn't explicitly illegal, but it’s a sneaky grey area. The law demands drivers be in proper control of their vehicle, so if your thong-slipping antics cause you to lose control, expect a fine for careless driving. Thongs can easily slip off, making it harder to operate pedals precisely, so it's a recipe for disaster waiting to happen. For the safety-conscious (and those who'd rather not meet the local copper), slip on some proper shoes. If you’re really curious, poke around ServiceCentral or CarShowroom for more driving tips and legal tidbits.
