Do you drive your automatic transmission car with one foot or both feet?

[QUOTE="solo, post: 588251, member: 18358"] My scientific reasoning behind why I drive with two feet - When you ride a bicycle or motorcycle, you are taught to rest your index and middle fingers on the brake handles so you are ready to brake anytime. Funny no one ever says this is dangerous. But cars, are not like bicycles or motorcycles that can decelerate immediately from whatever speed you are at. A car driver can reduce his, or her, reaction time by 0.2 seconds by having the left foot hovering over brake pedal. In a car moving at 100kph, that 0.2 seconds equals to about 5.36 meters. And that length, is the length of one car. So by having my left foot hovering over the brake pedal, I can save one-car length in stopping distance. To me, at 100kph or faster, every centimeter counts in an emergency. Salut [/QUOTE]
