Left-Foot Braking And BLD (Brake Lock Differential)

[Supazuk]

The best you can do for a reply is a childish insult?

Drinking water out of the back of a toilet, While not going to kill you, is odd and not conventional. All while it would be safer and easier to just turn on the faucet. Much akin to driving with 2 feet.
It was not a Childish insult and proves you do not process complex thinking

However I did know a girl in college that could eat using utensils with her feet. Creepy and mind blowing all at the same time

I got shamed for insinuating you were stupid, so I will not repeat myself, go back and re-read everything I wrote. I did find when Supazuk said: Do you drink your water from the back of the toilet? humorous, picturing you drinking from the back of your toilet, trying to wash out the taste of your foot.

That reminds me of when I was communicating with an Aussie friend who also worked support for Symantec. He said something I found sort of funny, and I said "yeah, says the guy down under where toilets flush backwards (I was referring to the water swirl, which is not true, but still finds its way around the web) Another guy chimed in - you mean their toilets flush UP? and he wasn't joking.

Graduates of the school of Grand Theft Auto in the viddeit world, in the real world, Race cars normally have clutches, and the drivers use the left foot to open and close the clutch plates to shift gears.

Yeah i don't left foot brake on track. left foot is clutch only. right for gas, brake and heal toe for line braking or downshifting.

sounds like good time to me

By some of the logic presented here, panic stops with MT must result in the clutch being floored as well as the brake.

In the JT with an AT, I two foot all the time, just so that the left foot has the muscle memory to brake properly when two foot is a good idea. In a recent panic stop to avoid Bambi in the headlights, no, the accelerator pedal was not pressed; the right foot lifted and the left squeezed while the tires cried. The same was true when avoiding a wrong-way driver at 50 MPH.

Being coordinated is not hard. It does require a little practice.

That is quite a stretch. The typical response to "he drinks water from the back of a toilet" is "yuck", not "isn't he odd and unconventional". Your "complex thinking" caused you to overlook the most typical response to your statement.

Do you have any rational arguments for or against two-footed driving that have not already been said by others? Or to the original subject of off-road left-foot braking, before I accidentally hijacked this tread and sent it into a tailspin?

With manual transmission, ALL stops require left foot depressing the clutch, and right foot braking, otherwise the brake will be fighting the engine trying to stop, facts, logic hard to argue. We were taught this basic concept at an early age when we were taught to drive.

Or, pop to NEUTRAL, lol, RH is already on the shifter. We are at a "panic stop", right, meaning no time to evade or avoid. Downshifting is not going to be a thing in that situation either.

Okay, might be feed a troll here. Do you really use the clutch every time you touch the brake pedal?

A cat may be skinned many ways. Enjoy yours!

I do not know how to explain these issues to someone so clueless.

 

[Badunit]

It all depends on the situation. When braking quickly, I use the clutch every time. Brake foot and clutch foot both move to their pedals in unison, clutch to the floor, both hands on wheel, way more concerned about stopping and steering than shifting.

Well.... there is a place where that's the way. Jail / prison

When I want to use both feet to drive I hope in my Wrangler Unlimited. "M/T"
Now, for the last 2 weeks that's been a big negative "ghost rider the pattern is full" knee high airboot and crutches for left foot. If my ass didn't know how to drive using "just one foot" I'd had to call for the most expensive taxi service you can call. The ambulance. Second week of having a "hobbit foot." I've driven a manual transmission vehicle with severe injury to left foot several times none were fun. Severd left big toe and after having a ladder shift then riding it down landing on top of ladder with ankle under it. The former one I was hooked up with my travel trailer even. Drove to station so when / if I went into shock I could be located for the ambulance. A bad start to a vacation, that ended with over 4 months out of work.
Not trying to actual like a bad ass heck no my uncle was. His winch truck rolled over him broke his back he crawled in truck drove to get help. His mother my grandma rolled her car crawled out to a house for help and more worried about the car with broken pelvic in her 70's. FYI nether one drove using both feet unless it was a manual transmission vehicle. My uncle was how I learned to drive "on the farm, Ford p/u 3 on the tree" and my grandmother. From her "You got to blow the cobwebs out of them" often. I miss her and that car 68 Chevy Malibu.
