I clip in to the accelerator pedal and go.

Well, I did before the ban.

I drive with SPDs quite a lot without a problem. Don't see why you would slip if you have rubber pedal covers on your clutch, brake and throttle.

Always take other shoes - mainly in case my riding ones get really crappy while riding.
I suspect that my 'trail' type spds (Shimano something or another) would be fine to drive in though, whereas my proper Pearl Izumi spds would most definitely be a liability!

I forget sensible shoes all the time and have really silly studded SPD shoes. Most journeys are conducted in a haze of clutch smoke. Not cool.

Naah, just doesnt feel right or safe to me. Too little flex in the sole and rubber too stiff to grip pedals properly.
Trainers every time.

Try not to kill someone.

my northwave celcius are a bit sketchy
my summer shoes are ok - usually have trainers if im driving in case my shoes are manky, else i drive barefoot.

i have done- find it a bit sketchy. rather drive barefoot.

If you slipped off I'd increase the spring tension

only drive in spd shoes if you can text at the same time 🙂

🙄 just drive.

surely not? I find the cleats catch rather than slip. Only time i was ever caught out without any alternative footwear I drove barefoot as a safer option.

I had to drive a mate to hospital after he broke his collarbone on a ride. I was wearing SPD whoes and combined with having to drive his van it was a nightmare with cleat taking away any pedal feel.

Carbon soles + studs work perfectly with the auto-box!

i'd rather not wet muddy and slippery

same problem with shorts and pants so i take those off as well - whats the worse thing that can happen?

glass half full alert! (plus vague memories of specialist films)

rephrase "what is best thing that could happen"

Always change from my ones for the drive home.
Isn`t impossible to drive with them just uncomfortable tbh.
