Lies Grownups Told Us

Wednesday, June 15. 2005

Okay, so were were having a discussion about whether it was actually illegal to drive while barefoot in all 50 states. See, I was told when I was young that it was illegal, but my brother and I have both driven barefoot for years (with our sandals handy to slip back on in case we were pulled over, of course). It's possible it was illegal at one time. The truth is, if I don't drive barefoot for at least part of a long drive, my feet cramp up, which I think is far more dangerous than my bare feet on the pedals. So someone (Laura C.) found this examination from the AFU Urban Legend archive.

Hah! I'm legal!

Research is good.

Except that it was our mother who modeled the barefoot driving technique for us...although it was our father who showed me how to drive with my knees (It's good to be tall

Yeah, I drive with my knees all the time--the family legs are good for something! Mom had given up on the barefoot driving by the time I was old enough to notice. It was entirely your influence that put me on that path
