Left Foot or Right Foot on the Brake Pedal?

[Polly Ticks]

I saw this picture on the TBR Silliness Thread:

... and she's apparently a left foot braker. 

Which foot do you use on the brake pedal?

[Smokin Joe]

Left foot is for the clutch and the dimmer switch.

[Kamaji]

What if one has neither in one's car?

Left foot is for the clutch and the dimmer switch.

That was my first thought.

Damn. The last time I could get my foot up to the turn signal stalk was...was like never.

Dimmer Switch?  Haven't had one on a vehcicle in what 35 years or so?

Mine was next to the windshield washer foot pump on my 67 Rambler Rebel.  Every time I wanted to wash the windows I hit the brights.  Damn annoying when you were baked and did it to a cop..

I did that once, quite by accident, and it cost a pretty penny to fix the damage I did to the turn-signal lever!

Worst automotive change of all time?  Bucket Seats. And you guys know why........

Then the big three copied the Japs and made the center console standard.  It was the end of paradise under the dashboard lights.

So, the weed option, then?

On an automatic, left foot on the brake, right foot on the gas, so one can load-up the torque converter before launch.

Nah, that would imply that YOU aren't holding the kitten, and neither you nor the kitten would be happy with that arrangement.

[Elderberry]

Left foot on the gas. Right foot on the foot stomp starter button.

Years ago, I would have selected the weed option.  When I first was learning to drive the driving instructor had us using the left for the brake and the right for the gas.  My father quickly corrected me, and had me learn to use my right foot for both the brake and the gas; it was less confusing. Much, much easier and indeed less confusing.

So...right foot...brake and gas!

Hmmmm.
Our #5 son just started driving, and I always want to teach them to drive with one foot so if they ever drive a standard it will be more natural for them.  Hubby likes the 2-foot method ... in retrospect, he's probably thinking along your lines.

I like the kitten holder!  Now, if somehow they could make it much bigger and turn it into a dog holder that would be great.  As a puppy, they learn to lie in the lap, but a full grown lap dog while driving becomes a bit of a problem.

5 boys.  God Bless you @Polly Ticks   ... that means eventually 5 daughter in-laws....Good Luck with that.

When I taught our first( a son) to drive, I was evil. I enforced that he learn to take off using only one foot. It was a standard and he learned to take off using only the clutch. Once he learned clutch control, I then taught him using both feet.

And get the turbo spun up a bit, too.

No goofy footers (Left foot on the brake), I can't teach my wife to use a manual, I love a manual.

I couldn't teach my wife to use a manual either. I was trying to teach her and she stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and got out. She said she couldn't learn from me. After that she learned on her own. In hindsight, I remembered that I learned to drive a stick on my own. Some things you just have to learn on your own.

From a controls standpoint, you wouldn't want to tell a valve to open and close at the same time.  Likewise, you wouldn't want to accelerate and brake at the same time.  Hence, same foot for both tasks.

I learned about love in the back of a Dodge. The lesson hadn't gone too far.
