If I were to keep them on when driving, the back would catch all the time and keep the throttle/brake/clutch down and I would lose my ability to react quickly. Because of this, I always slip them off when I drive.

Is that really true? I drive every morning without shoes 'cuz I too wear flipflops... (to practice) Not to mention my Audi's clutch has no feel and without shoes it's easier to control the engagement point.

IMO seatbelts are a good idea. When I was growing up my mom wouldn't drive the car until my sister and I had our seatbelts on. Strapping in and unstrapping are always the first/last things I do when entering/leaving a car.
