Is Driving Automatic Cars With Both Feet Bad? by chyk1(m): 7:16am On Nov 01, 2016
Hi guys, i was taught that driving a car (automatic) with both feet is bad, as your left foot is used only in manual cars for clutching while your right is for alternating the throttle and the brake. After driving inconsistently for abt 2yrs nw, I discovered that i use both feet to drive automatic and it's really more comfortable and easier for me than using only my right foot. Pls i need your opinion on this because i'm really troubled and people have been telling me its not good to drive with both feet. Thanks
Mods please do the needful.

in an emergency, you will be unable to respond appropriately. I can imagine you pressing both pedals at the same time to bring the vehicle to a halt cheesy

besides that people behind would think he is drunk or a learner as the other foot is always touching the brake pedal therefore stop lights are on and off as if he wants to stop

Left-foot braking is all shades of wrong_ at least for our everyday driving. How do you guys even pull that shii off, you wan form Lewis Hamilton?

You'd surely find yourself riding your brakes!!!

I was once like this but I had to adapt when I found myself riding the brakes on many occasions plus my inability to bring the car to a complete stop sometimes when it mattered cos I had both feet on both pedals at the same time!!


Your driving an automatic with both feet shows that you learnt driving on ya own! Right??

Please pay for driving lessons as the less of your kind on the road the better the driving experience for those who learned the right way.

How do you even pull this off?? Only time I ever tried it was when I was a learner and my leg hurt like crazy afterwards.
