Every year, the question arises as to whether it is legal or not to drive in flip-flops in Portugal.
The PSP has clarified this question on its social media, and have stated that you can drive in flip-flops, "but with common sense and safety."
Although the Traffic Code does not require or prohibit the use of specific clothing, it makes it clear that drivers "must, while driving, refrain from engaging in any acts that may impair the exercise of safe driving."
And, of course, there are situations where footwear can put driving at risk. For example, if it's damaged, poorly fitted, or has a slippery sole.
