My understanding is that should you be in an accident and found not to have been wearing shoes the police could decide you were not in full and proper control of the vehicle.
I'm unaware of any successful prosecution on this basis though.

Driving barefoot was the preference for many rally drivers pre-poncy Sparco type driving shoe era. It allowed for greater sensitivity through the pedals on 50's/60's cars that mechanically fairly crude with no sense of isolation in the controls due to electronic gizmos drive by wire etc. Lose a clutch and with an sensitive touch on throttle gear changes were possible. Feathering non-servoed brakes was easier barefoot too.

So my passengers will occasionally have to endure my smelly feet for the sake of my back.

IIRC Racelogic do a traction control system wich has cruise and an option.

When I give up on my drivers seat bolster I think I will get the S seats refurbished with adjustable lumbar support and heaters.

I could be wrong, but I think the seat panel at the back of the seat is 'loose'.

If you get hold of the edge you can pull it forward and stuff something behind it to give some lumbar support.

It's under enough tension to keep the padding in place.

I did this on a previous car to good effect when I had a bad back.

I used a bean bag.

I will have a look this weekend when it comes out to play again.

Had a better day, I tried the pillow between/under legs and it
seemed to help overnight.

Ironically I've just had a relapse with mine, and the pillow/cushion between knees helped - I arranged it "long ways" so i could put it between my knees and prop my hips on it to stop me rolling over further.

I also find that on my front with a cushion under my tummy and calves, and on my back with my knees bent (you can rest your knees together - kinda knock kneed - and you stay there).

If its ongoing I'd see someone professional though - everybody's back / back problem is different so you don't want to do more harm than good...

I suppose there are a lot of factors in it for different people, for me I
think putting weight on this last two years is top of the list (I blame the
girlfriend for this ) Lack of activity, I have a physical job but its not
enough exercise, the local gym closed and I couldn't be bothered to
go elsewhere. Then there's sleeping in too long, thats the killer. The
Easter holidays started it all off. I cant really blame the S too much
though because I hardly drive it.

Right where's that spare pillow...
