Some sunglasses are suitable for driving. However, it is always important to check the serial numbers and markings to make sure they are legal for use on the road. Sunglasses labelled as Category 4 are an example of ones that cannot be worn as they are too dark for driving and could land you in trouble.
The experts have also warned motorists against wearing sunglasses, flip-flops or backless sandals, long skirts, and wide-brimmed hats, as well as high heels or driving barefoot, as these can both impact the ability to handle pedals properly.
Additionally, the experts say that swimwear or shirtless driving could be seen as inappropriate or even distracting to other drivers, and therefore, although it is not against the law, motorists could still be questioned by the police if an outfit is considered unsafe or a distraction.
