[devilsadvocate]

Someone once told me about this they advised me not to do it but i could not help myself, it was very scary!!

Never heard of it. More details required!

When driving your car try and brake with your left foot rather than your right!!

[Guest davelfc]

I drive an automatic now and use my left foot for breaking all of the time. If you Kart then you need to do that as well.

 

But I remember many years ago trying it and you don't forget it the first time.

 

You are so used to pushing down the clutch with your left foot that you won't be able to help yourself push down hard on the brake.

Also drive an automatic. Remember thinking how I was probably overworking my right leg and it'd be much more efficient to drive with 2 feet. Almost went through window screen.

Is this a euphamism for some kind of homosexual behaviour?

[devilsadvocate]

Yeah that what happened to me, nearly went through windscreen very scary. Even though I had been told not to do it i just could not help but try it why is this?

It's frightening... but kinda fun. Ever tried driving at night with no lights on?

About 25 years ago on the M53, was about 3am. I didn't pass a single car, I even pulled over and had a piss in the middle of the motorway.

 

I sort of cheated as there was a full moon.

I drive an automatic also and tried it. I expected to fuck it up a bit and be a bit heavy, but fuckin hell, I nearly did a Diana.

People driving automatics?

 

Virgins.

Hehe, this thread is ace. I consider myself an ace driver (who doesn't) but it was funny to realise what a complete mong my left foot is when asked to do something as simple as break.

 

I haven't driven with no lights on but I have driven in pissing down right with a snapped off wiper that I had to lean out of the drivers window and try to use manually. You know like with my hand and stuff. Like swishing away with it and that.

Apologies - when I saw the title of the thread - I thought you were a spaz that had spelt breaking wrong!!!

 

Most Humble apologies but in fairness to me its wasnt an unfair assumption to make here!!

[JohnnyH]

Or people with degenerative knee conditions :blah

 

Correct. Broke my left leg in 7 places, dislocated the ankle and knee and fucked all ligaments in the knee. That has put paid to long journeys in traffic in manual cars.

I have a prosthetic limb

i tried that down a B road in the countryside was quality. i was scared when i turned my light on there would be someone infront of my car.Resedent Evil style

Next time, try it when some arsehole is driving right up the back of you.

Not only do you shit ya pants, but the look on the guy behind you is immense.

:laugh:

 

Oh the joys of driving tomfoolery

 

This however can only be topped by hand brake turning in the snow.

At least with left foot braking you have a degree of control, handbrake turning in the snow is ace, becuase you know for a fact that you ain't gonna avoid hitting something withn the arse end of the car.
