[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 857126, member: 65699"] Seriously, I don't see how ya'll drive with only one foot...holding that left foot at the ready builds shin muscles. Other than the emergency brake, what is there for your left foot to do elsewise? Then again, I didn't know you were "supposed" to do the one foot thing until the driving test...and when I test drove a ranger the dash was so low that I couldn't pivot my right, but the 2 foot method worked so much better. Can shifting feet really be faster than 2 feet? I don't think so, and I adamantly believe that the one foot method leads to the impaired (for lack of a better term) driving methods that we all see too frequently. (Braking at the last second, braking excessively prior to a turn, braking in the turn) I'm always told by my compadres that they brake so late because they don't want to "switch their foot until they have to", which was the basis for my "theory" here. Tangenting a bit on the thread, but since the root of the problem seems to be the prescribed one foot method, I'm interested in thoughts on it. [/QUOTE]
