>noo you can't use your left foot to brake >left foot braking is le bad lmao
>>2882542399.99% of the time it's fine.It's the 0.01% that'll get you.
the car doesn't care if the brake is pressed with the right or left foot
get on my level; I push the brake pedal with my hands. git gud.
>>28825423i learned to drive with my left foot always hovering over the brake and my right foot always hovering over the gas. i've never suffered from this once.
>>28825445? How's it gonna get you?
>>28825423Left foot braking is faster around a track.Simple as.My right leg is all messed up from off road injuries so my left foot works a lot better
>>28825423>Be left foot braking boomer>Drive with brake lights on or flickering all the time
>>28825451i pull my brake levers with my hands
>>28825464you didnt learn to drive
>>28825491have something to say? i'm right here.
>>28825484You are aware of the lever near the right hand foot peg and its use?
>>28825447the heat of the foot cooks the brake
>>28825511my scooter doesn't have a pedal of any kind
>>28825511you push that with your left foot according to OP
>>28825423>using your feet to brakeThe car doesn't slow down on its own? Is this another dunb rube goldberg quirk? machinr
>>28825507>hovering overYou know how tiring that gets over a long drive?
>>28825557if i'm on the highway and it's a while, sometimes I'll let my left foot rest on the little footrest, but 99% of the time i'm hovering over the pedals with both feet over their respective pedal. i have total control of the machine.
>>28825573>both feet over their respective pedal. i have total control of the machine.
>>28825573I would consider this piss poor trolling if I didn't think people drive like that.
>>28825614it's how i've been driving for over a decade
I use left foot braking in sim and it just feels natural desu
>>28825491Left foot brake is how they train police and highway patrol all across the country.Do you think your brain will get confused as to what pedal your right foot is on?Do your hands accidentally turn the wheel the wrong direction because you had it gripped at the bottom instead of the top?What about motorcycles? The standard setup is that each foot/hand controls a separate component- the right hand even controls throttle AND front brake. Like what kind of crazy shit is that?!?!And did you know that on a dirt bike you can dig the front tire into a turn and take it at a higher speed by using the front brake AND throttle AT THE SAME TIME?!
>>28825573>I total control of the machine.>drives autolol no
>>28825627>he thinks he knows how to transmission better than a transmission.
>>28825423I only do that when I am also heel toeing. Its unnecessary otherwise.
lmao at all the automatic drivers itt
>>28825708Yes.The car doesn't know what I wanna do next. It only knows after I press the throttle down. An automatic can only react to my inputs. In a manual I can shift before moments before I need the extra power.
>>28825724>What is manual mode >Formula and gt3 cars are all automaticslmao
>>28825423It's not a very useful skill but still good to know and practice every now and then. The only real world application for it would be getting started on a hill or trail braking which you probably aren't doing in the city. Not every professional racing driver left foot brakes.
>>28825423So you're the car in front of me that keeps flashing their brake lights for no reason
>>28825625>what is a clutch
le heel toe downshifting and right foot braking are the dumbest things for boyracers and wannabe smartguys
>>28825727manual mode is just a suggestion.
it's dangerous because in an emergency situation you will floor the gas pedal instead of braking.happened to me in a video game
>>28825482>>28826034Just don't rest your foot on the brake pedal. Are you guys rertarded? If you think this happens, then you guys probably also rest the foot on the gas pedal at a red traffic light revving like a fool.>>28826119git gud
Id there anything more annoying than seeing some guy's brake lights on on the freeway because he's resting his left foot on the brake pedal?
>>28825423I see you don't drive manual
>>28826305retard argument, read this >>28826305>>28826318for cornering you can left foot brake in manuals too. I see you can't take corners fast
>>28826323pro tip. you don't brake through corners. you brake on the approach and roll through the corner. your tyres can't handle braking and cornering at extreme levels.
>>28826326>your tyres can't handle braking and cornering at extreme levels.>at extreme levelsi didn't say to turn hard and brake hard at the same timeWhen you brake gently during mid corner the weight of the car shifts forward so that your front tires grip harder.
>>28826331>When you brake gentlyyou don't win races by braking gently
>>28826326Protip: it's called trail braking. But first you have to get into the right gear. Which requires a clutch
>>28826353I assumed the vehicle in question was a car in which case trail braking is impossible because of that 60/40 front brake bias, but ok.
>>28826353>trail braking requires a clutchlmao. i trail brake all day on my scoot. come at me.
>>28826332if you brake hard while cornering then you won't make the corner>>28826353>every corner requires shiftinglmao
>>28826361>if you brake hard while cornering then you won't make the cornerthat's exactly why i mention braking on the approach. you do NOT brake at the apex (unless you want to understeer).
>>28826326Yep, he can't take corners fast lol
>>28826363sometimes it's nice to take the time to smell the roses.
>>28826362my nigga>brake hard on corner entry>slightly get off the brake when turning in to maximize fron gripDo you treat the brake like an on off switch?
>>28826366wait I worded that poorly. With slightly get off the brakes i mean you slowly get off the brakes until you are fully off the brakes
>>28826366>Do you treat the brake like an on off switch?idk really. sometimes i modulate but mostly yea. i smash that brake pedal like i'm trying to push it through the firewall.
>>28826369nah, i'm either braking or i'm not braking. the brake pedal serves one purpose and that's to slow me down which is something i'm reluctant to do when i'm trying to go fast.
>>28826373Anon, I am disappointed.
>>28826381Not as disappointing as his lap times
>>28826361>every corner requires shifting>strawmanLMAO - I accept your concession
>>28826331See the boomer part
>>28826394you say that left foot braking in a manual is useless because you first have to get in the right gear.And what about the corners that don't require shifting? You can left foot brake just fine there.Do you understand my comment now?
>>28825708>total control of the vehicle>explicitly do not have total control over the vehicle
>>28825727>shift denied
>retarded manual driver think he's faster on track than a guy using flappy paddles
>>28826443>goalposts
>>28825724So you dont even understand how an automatic functions.Got it.
>>28826450What if I want third?
>>28825423It's really cool when the car in front of me is going at a steady 50 and the brake lights are onWhen the fucker goes to stop you just know her brakes will barely work
>>28826459retarded argument, read this >>28826273
>>28826459Do electric cars light the brake lights when regeneratively braking?
>>28826487Do you really think that retards who drive with both feet never rest their left foot on the brake pedal?
>>28826353Most autos these days let you change gears. GT3 race cars cars are basically autos and dont use the clutch except for starting the car, and to be fast in one of those cars you need to trail brake and use left foot braking
>>28826504According to this mentality you would be at WOT constantly because you couldnt keep your right foot at the correct position on the accelerator.
>>28827829what the fuck are you talking about?have you never seen a fucking senile fuck in a marquis driving with their brake lights on all the time?"people" who use their left foot to brake during regular driving are almost always resting their foot on the brake pedal, triggering their brake lights to be always on.its either that or there are a LOT of cars out there with faulty brake light switches, primarily driven by old geezers.
>>28825423>drive shitbox>throttle response is meh>use left foot to brake and right to launch from a red light to compensateI think that's really the only reason I'd left foot brake. I've figured out how to rev match and modulate the brake on the automatic so I rarely rev match with both feet anymore.
I used to left foot brake on my old automatic Chevys and Fords so I could load up the converter to get a more sprightly launch, but when I tried it on my mums 2013 Jazz/Fit the computer would block any power. Only have manuals now, so I almost never use the left foot on the brake, just twist my right foot to use gas and brake together.
>>28825604Based.>I work on this baby the same way>I get maximum performance.
>one foot on clutch >one on brake>right foot ln acceleratorThis is the way to go, total control
>one foot on the e-brake pedal>One foot on the clutch pedal>One foot on the brake pedal>One foot on the accelerate pedal
>>28827852>or there are a LOT of cars out there with faulty brake light switches,Yes.Modern design is a "fail on". Accords for example are notorious for a plastic stop on the pedal crumbling and the switch automatically stays in the "on" mode.But youre a nowrench basement dweller so are unaware of that simple fact and you live in a democrat ran meteopolis shithole surrounded by third world browns who think car maintenance is limited to changing tires when the belts start to show.
>>28825423In my open wheel car the pedal box is designed such that the brake is easy to use with either foot. I drive almost exclusively with left foot braking like a go kart. The clutch is only really needed to get rolling, since the gearbox is a dog box whenever there is no engine pressure it just pops into gear.
>left foot braking is le badsaid no 911 owner ever
