You've been given like 10 reasons why you should drive an automatic with one foot, you are ignoring and arguing with those reasons.


I'm a very smooth driver, and I learned the correct way (with one foot).

I learned to drive on a manual transmission. My left foot is reserved for the clutch pedal.  It's an ingrained habit - muscle memory- that my right foot is the only foot that touches the other two pedals.  Even when I was driving myself to the emergency room to have my right ankle X-rayed (it was just a bad sprain, but my ankle was the size of a big-ass grapefruit, and the color of a plum), I used my right foot for both gas and brake.

Tactical/ PSD driving courses teach students to drive vehicles using both feet while driving an automatic. The reason is for the quicker reaction time and keeping motorcades in tighter formation.  The escape and evasion driving instruction was brought into the protection training initially by some well known race car drivers from back in the day. When you are driving at high speeds and need to get around corners there are techniques used like trail braking that control the weight of the vehicle to keep those four little patches of rubber on the road.

I say no.... if your always using one foot to press both pedals... its easier to stomp the gas accidentally......  if you always brake with the left, your used to braking with the left, and less likely to stop the gas by accident.

not that I think that's much of a issue in the first place.... just saying its easier to be confused when using one foot for braking and gas.

You can always tell when you're following a two-foot driver -- their brakelights keep flickering (or worse, the lights stays on).

there were IMPLIED reasons... such as not to ride the brake..... or you might accidently stomp the wrong pedal..... but since I do neither of those things, I'm not seeing how using two feet hurts anything... it gives better control IMHO, such as at slow speeds, stop and go grid lock, off road driving over rocks etc, or defensive driving.  

I admit if you cant keep your foot off the brake, then you should stop braking with the left foot.... due to brake lights, and brake wear.... but I don't see a negative for braking with your left foot... IF YOU DO IT PROPERLY.

Standard trans? 2 feet, but the left foot is never used for the brake.

Auto? Hell no.

My wife and I just discussed this the other day, there was a video of a minivan that pulled out of car wash, drove over a curb, off an embankment, the over a fire hydrant and flipped. I told her, that's why you don't use two feet. At least, that's one of the reasons. If you're conditioned to remove your foot from the accelerator to apply the brake you're less likely to stab both in a panic like that driver did.

years ago when I learned to drive, it was with a clutch.... I wish I had three feet back then.... but anyway.... I always have driven with two feet my entire life.. one for gas, and one for brake. I always try for the smoothest ride when I am a driver.. gently braking, and accelerating, I try to avoid jerks etc..  when my daughter was going thru drivers ed and getting her license a few years back... it was EXTREMELY frowned upon to use both feet..... and the result was,  a jerky ride.

the reason I was thinking about this was, I just rode with a friend the other day, and it was a fucking really jerky assed ride... take foot off of brake, car starts rolling back, and then step on the gas... uggg...

whats your opinion??  seems to me its easier to have two feet on the pedals, to maintain better control, for smoother operation....  why is single foot for gas and brake preferred?

It doesn't gain you anything because either way you have to move your foot to the brake if you don't keep your left foot on the pedal- which you shouldn't do.
It makes the transition to driving a manual difficult.

Plus some of the other reasons mentioned.

I was a dedicated one foot driver (in an auto) until I got a RZR, running winding bumpy trails high speed or rock crawling I used the 2 foot method all the time. Now it's hard not to do while driving a vehicle, but I keep left foot on the floor until brake is needed, sometimes I still use just one foot. It's pretty hard to screw things up either way really, if you can't do either way I'm not sure what to say!

because manuals still are out there, it makes sense to continue to teach brake-gas using 1 foot.

How does one drive a manual car properly if they use the same foot to operate the clutch petal and the brake? How the fuck do you downshift while braking quickly to enter turns and such? I don't get it.

And if you use a manual and your left foot is for brake and clutch, how in the fuck is it smother to be at a stop in neutral with left foot on Brake, right on gas, take foot off brake, depress clutch fully, insert into first gear and let out on clutch?

I don't get it.

They teach people to drive with one foot because two-footed driving invariably puts the vehicle in a position where it has to fight with itself at some point-- there's no manuver you'd to undertake in a regular driving where the brake and gas need to be depressed simultaneously.  It's not difficult to look at a vehicle and tell when a person uses two feet to drive.

Let your daughter learn how to drive with one foot.

Exactly. Remove the clutch from the equation the left foot just chills out and everything is normal for right foot. That is why people drive with one foot.

The emergency response is probably the best reason to avoid it. And BTW, I'm from Oregon and lived on the East Coast for a couple years, so I'm not stranger to driving in inclement weather....and there is still zero benefit to driving with 2 feet, and a few good reasons not to.

That's because the RZR disables engine braking under something retarded like 2000rpm so you have to use both feet to keep the RPMs up so the damn thing doesn't freewheel and then send you sliding to your death down the steep ass trails around here where it may be too loose to do braking only.

If there is a jerky ride it has almost nothing to do with using two feet but rather just the driver.

This. For most people, in an emergency stop, if both feet are used, there's a higher chance they'll press down with both feet, giving gas while trying to stop.

Lol. If you say so.

The emergency response is probably the best reason to avoid it. And BTW, I'm from Oregon and lived on the East Coast for a couple years, so I'm not stranger to driving in inclement weather....and there is still zero benefit to driving with 2 feet, and a few good reasons not to.

What kind of worthless response is that.

Give me the 10 reasons I should not drive with two feet.



It's a worthless response because you refuse to read the thread and consider what has been said. I'm not going to do the work for you. There are extremely good reasons posted here already why two footed driving isn't and shouldn't be taught.



All your doing is blowing smoke.

I bet you're one of those people who never practice point shooting.
