Should You Drive an Automatic Car with One Foot or Two Feet?

[ArabellaMarie]

When driving an automatic car, you should use only one foot. Using your left foot to brake is dangerous and is a technique typically reserved for race car drivers. Automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal, only brake and accelerator pedals. Here are some important considerations for operating the brake and accelerator: When pressing the pedals, the body needs a stable support point to maintain balance. While the right foot operates the pedals, the left foot can rest on the floor to stabilize the body. If both feet are placed on the brake and accelerator simultaneously, both feet will be in a semi-suspended state without a stable point of contact, making it easy to lose control when pressing either pedal.
