Your left foot is not doing nothing - it's bracing your body against the floorboard and the seat so you have good leverage to press on the accelerator and the brake.Originally posted by soleachip:Why the right and let your left foot go to waste? Just sitting on the floor board doing nothing?
For me very hard to curb the habit cos I started taking auto lessons first before changing to manual lessons and now getting auto car but do not want to develop a bad habit in case I want to drive manual vans etc in the future. Yet I feel uncomfortable while using only the right foot.Originally posted by hisoka:i use right because the habit of using right arose from manual driving and never bothered to change.
besides, i tried using left to brake before almost became a e-brake....... control not there though it could jsut be not used to it.
right.Originally posted by soleachip:Just a survey to find out from auto car drivers, which foot do you use for braking? Left or right? And why is that so?
I know that general opinion has it that only the right foot should be applied on both pedals for safety purposes but when I find that using the right foot for both pedals, there is danger of stepping on the wrong pedal in an emergency situation. Left allows more control.
What about you guys?
If u are using only the right leg, isnt ur right leg always on either one of the 2 pedals at all time? So if it was on the accelerator and u wish to bake in an emergency, how can u end up stepping on the same pedal if u are only using the rite leg?Originally posted by soleachip:Just a survey to find out from auto car drivers, which foot do you use for braking?
