Just got back into this thread! Many bizarre reasons people come up with for BOTH sides of the story.......Pretty funny, some of them are.
I'm a 2 footer for 30 years, and have been in 2 accidents where I was at fault. (both were contributed to alcohol, not my left foot!) Fortunately, no other cars were involved, and I've long since been off that stuff!
Anyway, I have a few vehicles, each one has different driving characteristics, and responses to my input, and I'm fortunate enough to say I have never gotten out of my manual, into an auto, and slammed the brakes thinking it was the clutch. I like to think that I'm a little more self-aware than that, the same way I have never gotten out of the Jeep and into the corolla and went off-roading. Lol
I also do not wear brakes pre-maturely, or ride them with the brake lights on. My foot just hovers there patiently, until needed. Uncomfortable? not to me. Long drives?? foot moves to the foot rest on the far left until needed, just like it would if it were a manual I was driving.
I don't see what all the fuss is about!!! Actually, I think I'm gonna call good old dad and relay some of the thoughts in this thread, and see what his reply will be. After all, hes been driving with 2 feet for almost 60 Years!!!!
Come to think of it, He has never been in an accident. hmmm
