My neighbor's ride, Jeremy Clarkson impression

I took my neighbor for a ride a while back. Quite funny facial expressions, almost mimicing Clarkson's review of the Atom. Enjoy!!

PS- I can confirm I was not speeding,  ;D ;) :o :police:

WOW no shoes...I heard an urban legend that you can get a ticket in Texas if you don't wear shoes to drive....no clue if it's true. :wize:

That one has been around forever, although my high school driver's ed text (from 25+ years ago) actually mentioned kicking off shoes as a technique to stay awake on long trips.  Our (apparently better informed than most) instructor said that while legal, he didn't think it was a good idea - but told the girls that barefoot was better than strappy sandals or platforms/heels.

Some quick cites I found.

Driving a car barefoot legal [at the state level], motorcycles often not.

This might be a useful reference: AAA Digest of Motor Laws, but it appears to be only hardcopy.  Come on AAA, how about an online, searchable version.

Of course none of this will prevent a misinformed  :police: from giving you a hard time, or claiming a local ordinance.
