Yes, in Germany it is illegal. AFAIK, the law states something along the lines of having "proper shoework" in order to operate the vehicle.
EDIT: Whoops, no, it's actually legal [1][2] (in fact, it's perfectly legal to drive a car naked in Germany in public - though you shouldn't leave your car then, because being naked in public is not actually legal, the fine-print is that your car's interior is considered your private space), but you may get into trouble with insurance. While searching, I think I may have read that it actually is illegal in Switzerland, but don't take my word for it...

- LeifCarrotson 7y agoIf you get stopped while driving naked, and the officer asks you to get out of your vehicle, is that entrapment?
- isoprophlex 7y agoWhat a fantastic legal quagmire, thanks for looking that up Tangentially, I once had German autobahn police laugh at my 'gummistiefel' when they pulled me over... The opposite thing of driving barefooted, but hardly proper shoework for driving a car
- thecatspaw 7y agoFrom what I recall driving barefoot in switzerland is legal as well, but insurance companies are just gonna say "nope" when you enter a claim.
