I also agree that driving while barefoot is not very prudent and is definitely unsafe (while we are on the topic, how about high heels?), but a blanket statement that it is "illegal" in most jurisdictions is a bit of an urban legend, methinks. I am not aware of any jurisdiction where it is "illegal" in the sense that it is actually an offence under the law. I am not too familiar with the USAian legislation, but have never seen a reference to it in any of the jurisdictions in Canada and Europe in which I have lived - and in one of those jurisdictions, I was working in the traffic court system...
Of course, it could always be used against you in a charge of negligence if it was deemed to be a contributing factor. In and of itself, however? I really don't think so.
Anyone have a cite from their juridiction's highway code or traffic act? 'Twould be interesting to see if there is a reference to it anywhere.
