Are There Many People Who Drive with Both Feet?

There are many people who drive with both feet, but it is highly necessary to change this habit. Below is an introduction to brake fluid-related content: 1. Selection Method: When choosing brake fluid, you can judge its quality by its smell or appearance, as inferior brake fluid often has an alcohol-like odor, appears watery, and may contain impurities or suspended particles. Qualified brake fluid has a slightly yellow color, while brake fluid that is too thin or completely colorless and transparent should not be used. 2. Do Not Mix: During the use of brake fluid, you must not mix gasoline, diesel, engine oil, or windshield washer fluid into the brake fluid, as this will significantly affect braking performance. Different types and brands of brake fluid should not be mixed. For braking systems with special requirements, a specific brand of brake fluid should be used. Since different brands and types of brake fluid have different formulations, mixing them can lead to a decline in the performance of the brake fluid.
As someone who has spent years in driving schools, I don't see many people driving with both feet. You see, nowadays most people drive automatic cars, where the right foot smoothly switches between the accelerator and brake, while the left foot is mostly idle. In the past, I've seen some veteran drivers use their left foot for braking, which felt awkward and prone to accidental presses leading to accidents. Instructors repeatedly emphasize that this practice is unsafe—in emergencies, reaction times are slower, and there's a risk of pressing both the accelerator and brake simultaneously. Observing my neighbors and cars on the road, I'd say only one or two out of ten drivers do this, especially since younger drivers correct this habit after learning. Safety is paramount; developing the habit of using only the right foot makes driving smoother and avoids unnecessary risks. Remember, the correct approach is to stick to the standard method from the very beginning of learning to drive—don't get lazy while driving. This not only protects you but also ensures responsibility toward pedestrians.
