Do you drive with one foot, or two? [View all] bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 OP

One foot unless it's a stick shift DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #1

It's true you have to coordinate them bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 #3

For the most part, it's fine to do it either way DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #5

I have no problems coordinating one foot with the other bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 #7

As Sly Stone famously said, figuratively and literally DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #10

I drive a stick shift. So of course I use two feet. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2020 #11

Not in my mind, and not in my practice when I drive bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 #15

I don't "rest" is on the pedal bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 #14

Since one of my cars is a stick, 2. Now when I have tires put on, beachbumbob Sep 2020 #13

I'm amazed at the negative reaction from so many bucolic_frolic Sep 2020 #16

Let me make sure I understand. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2020 #18

I would think so. JohnnyRingo Sep 2020 #26

One with automatic transmission Chainfire Sep 2020 #17

Depends on what I'm driving. 2naSalit Sep 2020 #19

Two since I started driving and I won't let on when. 😆 sprinkleeninow Sep 2020 #21

2 and I have always driven an automatic. SamKnause Sep 2020 #23

That makes it too easy to drag the brake. JohnnyRingo Sep 2020 #25
