[QUOTE="solo, post: 28708, member: 18358"] Hey guys,As per the title, most drivers with will drive their automatic transmission car with on foot, meaning the right foot for both accelerator and brake. I know a rare few, myself included, who drive with both, meaning the right foot for the accelerator and the left foot for the brake.My father says driving an automatic transmission car with both feet is dangerous. This is because in a panic, the driver with step on the accelerator instead of the brake. I think driving this way makes my braking reaction faster. And in any event, I have trained myself to lift of the right foot and apply the left foot to slow down. Also, I never rest my left foot on the brake, just hover over it. Let me clear here, I drive short distances everyday so this is not tiring. By the way did you know Rubens Barrichello drives with both feet?For my bimmer I feel more comfortable driving with both feet as i feel the accelerator is positioned too far inwards compared to the brake pedal.
