I think the second one is supposed to illustrated shoes with a steel cap, which can be more difficult to drive with… Still, I don’t remember having that kind of question when I was having my exam. Weird!
I think you’re right, although they might mean boots in general. Thicker soles and restricted ankle movement make boots less suitable for driving in. The drawing not showing laces on the top of the shoe, does suggest they’re on the ankle.
I remember having a discussion about footwear with my instructor, but hiding the identifying feature of a boot under trousers in the question doesn’t seem fair.
I’m actually surprised they don’t have those old 1980s graphics anymore.
I took my exam in 2000 and I couldn’t believe how low-tech everything was at the SAAQ.
I’m thinking it’s the laces. Shoes that can slip off are more “dangerous” (like they assume you’ll be kicking your feet while you drive?? I don’t even know)
They tried to tell me in driving school that driving while wearing snowboots was dangerous (along with driving in heels, flip-flops, slip-ons, and barefoot). I said, “This is Wisconsin. So you think it’s safer to wear boots to the car, then change shoes in the car, then drive, then change back to the boots to go in wherever I drove to?” They said, “Uh… no?”
I’ve seen similar (my mom’s a driving safety instructor) and as near as I’ve ever been able to figure out, it’s about using the correct foot. All the driver’s ed classes I’ve ever been in (and the official tests) stress how important it is to not drive with the left foot in a car with automatic transmission -my guess is that the laces are more visible on the inside of the foot, so the laces-having picture is the right foot and the other one’s the left foot, but I’m not sure…
…what?
the only difference i spot is the shoelaces.
maybe its safer to have them on, like so the shoes wont slip off or something?
oh is it that you need to wear shoes that don’t have too thick a sole so you can feel the pedal better?
That’s what I figured and I chose the picture with the laces, and I got it right. But honestly the drawings were so alike I mostly picked at random.
One of them probably had the heel resting on the floor and not the other
Nope, the drawings were the exact same except for the top of the shoe ¬_¬

I’m going to guess the pictures were about that.

Is it whether you operate the brake with your right foot or your left? I learned that it’s best to operate both with your right foot.
Assuming an automatic transmission, and a style of shoe where the laces are more on one side. idk after four years still idk
