it started out so the car didn't die... but since that problem is eliminated I still keep one foot on the gas and one on the brake...

anyone else?

No. I learned many decades ago from a great driver that the brain's reaction to a panic situation is responded to much better when the gas and brake are controlled by the same foot.

Nope, only on cars with idle issues....gotta be a bit tougher on brakes as well..

Only when it's time to make some smoke.

One foot here.

One foot only. it drives me crazy to see someone driving with two feet. Blink, blink, blink... Argh! Are you speeding up or slowing down?!?!?!

Two feet for most of my life. Only time I ues one is when I' am driving hard enought to have to brace my left foot on the floor board.

2 for me too ,started when i was 17 with my first bird with idle problems.hard habit to break.

Usually 2 feet as well, although I am careful not to rest the left one on the brake pedal. On the highway I prefer to "no feet" approach.

the only one I know actually doing that is my wife...and I dont like to ride with her...(she started doing it as a teenager,thinking that otherwise her calves would be different sizes!!! )LOL.

As far as Im` concerned, learning this long ago,its supposedly dangerous....

BUT, many race car drivers do this....


only time I had my left foot working in an automatic was when I had had surgery on my right...I used ONLY the left foot...right was over the 'hump' into passengers area...

I can sometimes , ...if I`m ready for a fast take off "hold" the car with the brake with the left foot after I stopped ,so the right is ready for 'take off'...LOL

I learned to drive with stick....and I still think the left is for the clutch...

I had a few situations when I was in my young 20`s and drove a cab (A Mercedes Benz 200D auto) and had my own car (Fiat 1500 vert stick)usually when tired and had driven 8-10 hrs in the MB...switch car, get to the first stop light and wonder why the car starts shaking ,before it stops...."oh yes, CLUTCH" save it.....

and the opposite...first light with the MB after using MY car a long time...hit brake, slow down , then other foot on (thinking clutch)hits same brake , HARD stop! LOL

One foot for my auto car. Was taught that the 'two feet' was not good. It's probably why you see these old ladies running into walls... They panic and push both down and the 'train keeps a rollin'.

I have had the displeasure of riding with 2 feet drivers. I find their driving jerky because they seemed to start stabbing the brake pedal before releasing the gas and vice-versa.

My personal opinion is that if you need something for your left foot to do - get a stick car.

Maybe that's the deal with people with that brake dust all over their wheels? And why you see people with their brake lights on for no reason, I HATE that!

That would be my guess.

I don't think my brake lights are on, personally I'm not actually depressing the pedal more covering it..

when I got my license they taught me to use one foot to avoid confusion in a panic situation (old lady hitting wall syndrome)..

but I find now since overcoming the idling situation I still use two feet... I'll try one over the next drives and compare...

and you guys need to use the brake for burnouts?

It's a racing thing.... You put on the brake, flip the line lock, heat the tires with just the front brakes on. Then you are 'good to go' with hot sticky tires....

Since my 2nd car was/is a 67 FB 4spd, been a 2'r since 77.
I'm also ambidextrous(sp?).
Click mouse and type with either hand at the same time.

Can also drink beer left handed

to drink beer I need no hands ,just mouth ...lol

Is your line lock switch on the shifter handle?
Mine is, and i dont like it.
My n2o "button" switch is on LH side of strg whl.
Think'n of moving L.L. switch to RH side of whl.

I installed mine on the floor, auto car. I used a palm button safety switch from work. I had the Nos button on the shifter handle.

2 feet, size 12. I know, its not right. I'm comfortable with it.

Those are the people that have to brakes serviced prematurely.

One foot to drive the Blazer. With the 'birds both since they're manual trans. Sometimes I find myself pushing the phantom clutch pedal when driving the blazer.

My left foot doesnt rest on the brake pedal.
Just use it for braking, same with clutch cars.
I've noticed when driving in heavy traffic, especially on I65, I94, 294, etc, my heal is resting with toes about an 1" above the brake pedal.
Sometimes for a 1/2 hour or more.
And my brakes last as long, or longer then anyone i know.

Forgot, my right toes automatically come up off gas pedal as left toes are braking.
Neither foot is on at the same time.

I started out driving stick shift cars and have just been comfortable using both feet all my life (so far.) Plus it helps in stop-n-go city traffic, gotta be the first one off the stop light.

Your left foot is for the clutch (if equipped)NOT the brake pedal.

Only for those who cant handle it.

1 foot here, I have never tried to drive with both feet.

One foot.. First time I drove in an automatic I hit the brake with my left foot so hard I came to such a quick stop (being used to the clutch) that I burried my left foot under the seat untill I got used to it. Sometimes when slowly comming to a stop at the lights I still feel my left foot attempting to move to hit the clutch!

So just one foot for me...

Ive always driven an automatic with 1 foot. Especially after driving behind my grandfather years ago who drove with 2 feet, and constantly watching his brake lights flicker on and off... It drove me crazy and I always swore I would never be a "2 foot driver".. lol

Ive been driving both autos and manuals for years and have grown to automatically "adjust" my driving style based on what kind of car Im in. So no problems for me with an itchy left foot in an automatic... It enjoys the time off.

One foot - usually the right foot - left foot when I'm taking a nap.
