Default ? Automatic ? Do you brake with your left foot ?

Hi Member's with auto transmissions

Do you Brake with your left foot ?

Click below to read the article, &
please vote above >Thank You<

Why More Drivers Should Brake With Their Left Foot < Click

Braking with your left foot has been a contentious subject ever since the birth of automatic transmissions. If you have just two pedals in your car, and presumably two feet to operate them, then why would you not use one for each?

I always just use one foot. Everyone I know who uses two feet seem more jerky when driving.

Thank God Mod `David, that you have a super sense of humor.
Thanks for posting/sharing... I'm sure with the increasing advances that there will be a new device available that you may have that option. I see more & more amputee's @ the beach surfing & playing beach volleyball etc.....
======================================
Thanks Barbara for your post/vote.....Yes, it's great to torque up on the line > holding the brake 4>Sure.....+ watching the Christmas tree count down

Default ONLY at the track!!

Adrenaline rush 4 sure!!! I need adrenaline right now!!! It has been a long winter and all these postponed racing dates....arghh
Almost everyone went from our track over to Edgewater in Ohio but I did not have access to a trailer and truck today Not going that far and risk breaking. My "home track" is only 3 miles from my house!!
Patience is NOT a virtue I possess in great quantities!!!
