[QUOTE="Bill"] Hmmm - if you normally use your right foot for braking, then if you have the presence of mind to use both feet on the brake (something that would feel very unnatural) in emergency, would you not also have the presence of mind to simply *ensure* that you've planted your right foot on the brake (IOW, if you hit the accelerator with the right foot by mistake, why would you expect to have the presence of mind to correctly do the weird thing of putting your left foot on the brake)? I'm not doubting that you are correct in saying that that is what they are teaching, but I question the wisdom of it if that is what they are teaching. Looks like to me that the KISS principal would be to always use the right foot for braking (panic or otherwise). Bill Putney[/QUOTE] You are right. When (and if) both foot breaking is mentioned it is only briefly in the context of "panic breaking" when the car/truck won't stop. (e.g. you're rolling downhill and the engine stops and you loose pressure ... it accelerates when you hit the break). For most people it just helps make them conscious of where the pedals Really are. - RM
