For all those who drive a vehicle on the public road (or other publically accessible location) can you match the crime to the punishment ?

A) Drive without headlights at night
B) Discard apple core from window of moving vehicle
C) Toot horn and wave goodbye at designated drop off zone
D) Drive barefoot

1) No crime
2) $698 fine and 3 demerit points
3) $450 fine but no demerit points
4) $116 fine and one demerit point

>No googling
>NSW road rules apply
>No prize given

Driving barefoot is not a problem, so that's 1. (D = 1)

Police don't want you warning others when they are around, so I will say C = 2

Just because it sounds so minor, I will say B = 3

Which leaves driving without headlights at night, because we all know we do it when we are hammered and driving home, A=4

no there's not. I am sure they brought that in/changed that rule because it made no sense to have people wearing thongs or high heels instead of bare feet.

What if vehicle is actually bicycle? the same fine apply? I would double the fine for ringing bells, triple for barefoot and quadruple for open ing windows

Actually that's a good question. I don't know if it ever was illegal.

I know when I was a kid my mum would drive the car barefoot because it made no sense to wear dodgy shoes, and I thought there were some comments at the time that it was illegal but it was safer.

Maybe it is one of those beliefs that just keep enduring?

I drive barefoot most of the time because driving in sandals is surely going to end up in an accident.
