Brake Pedal

Coullio · January 17, 2004

I am sitting here thinking about something stupid (might have something to do with the 12 Millers I have just drunk). I am a right handed/footed and I use my left foot to brake!! So what foot do you use to brake with? You can vote twicw if you have used the other foot.

Erm I take it you have an auto?

Even driving an auto I still use my right foot to brake.

Yeah, you are taught to brake with your right foot... infact the only people that brake with their left foot are racing drivers, and that is simply because its quicker, and they can balance the car brake/throttle.

Most people will end up headbutting the steering wheel if they try left foot braking, simply because we dont have the senstivity in the left foot, so we are likely to press far too hard.

I'm sure if you practiced, you could brake as well with your left foot, but i guess the question is why???
