Today, the entry "A man who wears leaky shoes while driving is penalized 3 points and fined 100 yuan" appeared on Weibo's hot search, attracting the attention of many netizens. The Shanghai police have responded that the person was punished not for wearing leaky shoes while driving, but for failing to comply with regulations and giving way to pedestrians, resulting in administrative penalties.
The reporter learned from the Shanghai Public Security Department that at 9:40 am on July 19th, when the Jing'an Traffic Police were on duty at the intersection of Kangding Road and Wanhangdu Road, they found a motor vehicle that did not yield to pedestrians. Therefore, the driver of the vehicle, Mao, was fined 100 yuan and scored 3 points in accordance with the law.
During this period, the traffic police discovered that Mao was wearing leaky shoes while driving, and reminded him that wearing shoes similar to slippers may pose a risk to safe driving, but no punishment was imposed for this behavior.
Afterwards, Mao posted information on his WeChat group about being punished by traffic police for wearing loophole shoes, which was forwarded and spread, causing many netizens to participate in discussions. At present, the party involved, Mao, has clarified this matter in the WeChat group.
The man in question posted a clarification message in the WeChat group
So, is wearing "leaky shoes" while driving a car a traffic violation? A traffic police officer told reporters that it is generally believed that wearing slippers while driving is an act that hinders safe driving. "Because slippers do not fit properly, it is very easy for shoes to slip off when stepping on the brake or refueling. When the accelerator and brake alternate, slippers can also get stuck, which can easily lead to danger in emergency situations. According to relevant laws and regulations, wearing slippers while driving may face a maximum fine of 200 yuan and a penalty of 3 points.".
As for whether "looped shoes" with heel uppers are considered slippers, there is currently no clear legal regulation. "Generally, looped shoes are not considered as slippers and such behavior is not punished. However, from the perspective of safe driving, we will remind drivers to wear full heel shoes such as sports shoes and casual shoes as much as possible to ensure driving safety."
