Why is it illegal to drive barefoot?

[Edit]
In no US states is it illegal to drive barefoot.

This is verified by American Automobile Association, www.barefooters.org, & also www.pedolgroup.com.

This question was also on several of those myth-busting shows. Once again it has been verified.

It is actually recommended to drive barefoot if you are wearing flip flops, backless shoes, high heels, or any shoes that your foot can slip out of our impair your driving.
