As long as nothing goes wrong, then they’re fine to wear for driving. But, loose fitting shoes like flip flops have the issue of your foot slipping out when you are looking to make that critical / emergency braking etc. Where you might flick your right foot over and catch the brake with the side of your shoe /. boot, all that would happen with a flip flop is to graze the side of your foot with the pedal and run-in the pedicure.
So, again, it’s a matter of choice. Make the wrong choice and you could be looking at YOU as the driver being responsible for it all going wrong.
You could look at it the other way. If your nearest and dearest (not always the same person) was run over by a flip flop wearing numpty, would you be annoyed that your nearest and dearest may not have been injured/killed had the driver not been wearing beach wear.

Exactly Acorn, is it really worth it? Chances of something going wrong may be slim but it can go wrong with anyone at any time.

White socks!? Surely you jest! Any self respecting Englishman will be wearing the same sensible dark grey socks that he wears the rest of the year…Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
white socks are reserved for security guards,and those ridiculous looking cretins that wear 3/4 length trousers that just happen to show a bit of the england tattoo on their leg,
a proper gentleman will wear dark grey ones though in overly clement weather it would be deemed acceptable to turn them down to the ankles thus avoiding the ring of no confidence when getting the suntan.
if your away for a week or three then flipflops or just bare feet work well for me,as theres no socks to wash and ultimately lose when you forget theyre clipped into the sunroof or n/s window drying out.
I once had a frightening moment when I got the front of my Birkenstocks wedged under a pedal (sort of) and now don’t drive in anything that is open toed or slip-on.
Driving naked? Of course not, I have my Hi Vis on at all times.

Geeeesh, I’m suprised no one has asked the most important question, which is “was Robroy wearing white socks with his flip flops”Ffs any self righteous Englishman surely will be wearing white socks with their flip flips
Leave it out mate, flips and socks/sandals and socks? 
…for a style icon like myself…nah. 
That’s up there with v.necks worn with a jacket, shirt and tie, a la Alan Partridge.
If driving naked apart from wearing Y fronts , be sure to have clean underwear as my mother said you never know when you will have an accident and the ambulance staff and hospital staff will see if it’s not clean , which is highly embarrassing , who wants to see skid marks a month old .
Or turn them the other way around to save on laundry costs .

Almost as comical as the driver who once accused me of being dangerous for driving in socks, used to leave boots on step, as according to him I needed the weight the boots provided to apply the brakes properly 
And before my predictable resident critic pipes up I’m clearly a dangerous driver but not because of my footwear 
The stormtroopers of the LKW Kontrolle are not at all happy if they find you wearing inappropriate footwear whilst driving.
I find this strange, as when you see the things that the Germans get up to on Pornhub, (other channels are available) they seem a pretty open minded lot.
While on furlough during the recent hot spell I wore my flip flops constantly, even while driving my car

You’ve got one over me, I don’t own a bike, but fair play.
As for cars I go for practicality and ruggedness,…rather than ‘hairdresser chique’.
Got my tin hat on now and all.
Nissan Navara and rugged, yeh.

I don’t think rugged was quite the right term to use. Rubbish may be, but no, not rugged.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the navaras only collapse like that because most owners are aware of the fact that the engines are made in china out of chocolate and can wreck themselves quite easily and totally at random irrespective of mileage, and to that effect most prudent owners always carry a spare one or two in the pickup bed whilst travelling ,thus overloading the poor wee jeep causing the usual snapping of the chassis.

nice motor in every other aspect assuming your a fan of russian roulette with a complete engine failure every time you go to the shops.

Hey mate, you’re entitled to your opinion (although I don’t really give a ■■■■ what ot is tbh )
You can only speak as you find, I must have had this motor on and off about 2 to 3 yrs, I got it well below book price off the garage my eldest lad runs ( my other boy had it off me for about a year or so) and in that time it’s never missed a beat…plus it’s book value is still well above what I paid for it. 
It’s been chassis checked by Nissan and given a clean bill of health, it’s low milage and virtually immaculate, plus it’s never let me down…so there you go.
Pipe and smoke.
Robroy is flip flop?! It’s bad, they are everywhere! [emoji16]

I’ve been called a flop before by a couple of women 
…, but never a flip flop.
Flip flop is not the worst word to be called [emoji5]

What I want to know is which orifice does Rob put his feet in?
