You should be mindful of the clothes you're driving in – as failing to dress appropriately could see you being slapped with a hefty fine. Here's all you need to know
In the event of an accident or if stopped by police drivers found to be wearing inappropriate shoes risk an on-the-spot fine of £100 for "driving without due care and attention" along with three penalty points on their licence.
