Auto car: drive with BOTH left and right legs ?

[oomph]

Coming off a recent discussion, want to find out really is the trend for driving with Both legs active increasing ?

 

For those who drive with BOTH left and right leg active - can you provide reasons e.g. convenience, handling and control etc so that us die-hard-one-leggers can understand ?

 

Thanks !

Ok I tried driving with my left leg but find it too heavy and braking too hard ! can't teach an old dogs new tricks, didn't want to visit the bodyshop so I think its one leg for me !

its either legs but definitely not both legs.. like left leg on brake and right leg on accelrator! either left or right. but left leg not preferred as cannot apply brake properly. i do it only when stuck at super duper heavy traffic.

Sometimes, I will use my left leg to step on the accelerator, but not the brake.

"Sometimes, I will use my left leg to step on the accelerator, but not the brake. "

 

let me guess - you either:

 

- CROSS YOUR LEGS while you drive or

- you have a LEFT HAND DRIVE car ?

[Yjhlouis]

No, I will put my right leg on the seat, and turn my body slightly to the left.

nah.. he drives lying on his belly..

[Nhrisuzu]

only use my left leg to step on brakes when stationary at traffic lights.. so that right leg can have a good stretch..

 

but i must say, use left leg to jam brake is good.. somehow use less force

Right foot only 99% of time. Use left foot on brake (with right foot on accelerator) only when I go thru water and need to dry the brake pads and disks.

not used to left leg pressing the brake... somehow or rather if i use left leg, will sort of like jam brake effect... maybe used to manual as left leg is depressed to all on the clutch... so if use left leg to brake will use to depressed fully which result in jamming brake... use left leg only when stationery and wan to adjust my right...

I drove wif rite leg only. I did tried driving wif both legs after a few female frens told me they drive wif both legs on their auto car. But cant control left leg that well, like jam brake effect and foot too big to fit both foot side by side, sitting position machiam squeezing centre leg in need of toilet to release!!!

I only use left foot to press on the brake on a slope, after I have come to a complete stop. So that when moving off from the slope, release left foot and use right foot to press accelerator at the same time. Tried braking with left foot but macham like jam brake like that, cannot control the force.

Very very rarely do I use left foot braking... unlike M.Schumacher who does it all the time.

maybe thats why there is a problem with majority of female drivers jam brakes on the roads

 

 

 

 

i will try as much not to use 2 legs for auto.. because, i know i will forget how to step a clutch when i am faced with a manual car...that is more dangerous.

I have 'trained' myself to drive with both legs: left on brake, right on accelerator (at times, both brakes and accelerator is depressed for very short period when cornering or for faster response to brake n move off)...

First two months quite hard to get used to the control of brakes (too hard)~ Advice for pple starting out on this, is to practice your first few sessions on deserted roads pls !!! If not, will pose a danger to yourself and others~

 

But after some time, I finally got used to it... although I not sure why in the first place I wanna do it :P

 

If I'm not mistaken, TECHNICALLY, if got 2 clutchless cars (on a track) with the exact same specs and 2 exact same driver except one drives with one leg and the other with both... the driver using both legs will be very marginally faster than the driver using one leg. This is due to the time (millisec) the right foot is transferred from the accelerator pedal to the braking pedal (vs the other driver who already has his foot on the brake pedal already)...

 

Also read M.Schumacher uses both legs in his F1 days too~ :)

i tried before with two legs but i drove like a drunk driver within a 100m distance...dare not even go to main road....so, better to stick with my right leg and leave my left leg alone..

exactly!

male got centre leg, not suitable to use both legs

female no issue, can use either both legs or only right leg
