Ive been meaning to post this since I had a full blown argument with a guy I had to spend 8hrs in a car with.

When driving an auto, do you right or left foot brake? Im a left foot braker, coming from a karting background where anything different is quite difficult.

The reason I ask this is because the V8Supercar safety car that I was lucky enough to drive to a dealership a few times recently, shat itself when the driver :)o) left foot braked, making need for it to visit a dealership to be reset.

Right in a manual, usually end up slamming on the brakes when mentally trying to use the clutch in an auto, does that count as left?

You lucky barsteward!

I'm a left foot braker, can brake left foot in a manual too, even accelerate with the left, and clutch with the right (not at the same time :p) when my knee has locked up.

Left foot = redundant in an auto, good practice to left foot brake in a Kart tho. In a car the brakes are so powerful these days I stand them on the front bumper if I left foot brake! :eek:
 
So I am the only person it the whole world (well, FF at least) who left foot brakes?? My left foot gets bored ****less doing nothing in an auto.

Looks like Im going to have to eat humble pie on the weekend when I tell the bloke that I am wrong, it isnt the best way to drive :(

Oh well, Im still gonna do it :devil:
 
When I drove an auto I used right foot breaking, which just seems normal to me. I've tried using my left foot in my car before (manual) and it scared the **** out of me. Pressed it nearly to the floor :LOL:
