This has been an urban legend for a long time. While in traffic school, I asked a CHP officer about this and he had no idea what I was talking about. I have always suspected that this legend was started when a cop threatened to arrest some teenage boy at some "lover's lane."The Annoyed Man wrote:I don't know about the current state of the law in Texas, but back in the 1960s in California I was told that driving with your shoes off was A) illegal anyway; and B) cause for a statuatory rape charge if you had an underaged female in the car with you, and she had her shoes off.
