For starters ... there's more than one hit there. And I'm not totally convinced that the white drag mark on the bumper wasn't self inflicted. Look at how it rounds the tip. That's tough to do to someone else. There's a single tap (grey) in the front. And a dent behind the centre of the wheel. Did you file a police report? How did they see it?
BTW, I don't know for certain about Jersey ... but most places don't allow sandals or flipflops to be worn while driving.

BTW, all of that's repairable. The bumper (white) isn't broken. The white will probably clean up by buffing with compound. The dents didn't break the paint, so they probably haven't oil canned. It's a couple of bolts to remove the fender. Use a soft plastic hammer (8oz) to knock them back out from the inside ... and a wide block of pine held loosely (tight against the painted side) as a dolly. Work slowly and carefully and you'll have it looking right in no time.
Alternately, you can probably get a replacement fender at a scrap yard for about $50 ... already the same colour.

Well, it's probably a Canada thing.
EVERYONE drives with sandals here. Most women wear them often, men less so, but the 13-25 demographic wears them a lot. I wore sneakers to school for the first time since April today.
I've never heard of anyone getting fined for driving with sandals, and with so many people doing it, it would seem that it's either not a law or not enforced.

I know it's a bad idea to drive with flipflops...don't know if it's illegal for sure or if it's enforced if it is illegal...but I do know that driving barefoot is illegal. Does that mean I don't do it? No...but it means I always have my shoe right there to slip on, just incase...
It is indeed illegal, I also think driving with flipflops may be illegal...I dunno if either is enforced really though.
I meant in terms of if the cops pulled you over and you had no shoes...I dunno if they'd really give you a ticket.
It's true though, driving barefoot decreases control to some degree...sometimes if I'm wearing heels I'll drive without my shoe on cause I just can't seem to drive very well in heels...but I do try to avoid it. I have about 4 pairs of shoes in my car right now so I often just change when I get where I'm going.
It does
