Right foot braking...if only because my left foot is occupied with the clutch...

I said "When driving an A/T vehicle", A/T meaning automatic transmission.
Damn kids, you buy 'em books, send 'em to school, and they get the teacher pregnant.

What if we're ambidextrous regarding our lower digit-equipped appendages? 
Not to be confused with indecisive.....

I was trained to use the right and that's what I do irregardless (used just to iritate toe and Gunny ) of tranny. It always amuses me those who use the left... Damn brake lights are always lit up. Usually Buick or Oldsmobile drivers with the blinker stuck on while driving 60 in left lane of the interstate, too.
Besides, how the hell do you heel and toe if you left brake? :dntknw:

Does this include pulling the parking brake lever for "Bat turns". :crazy:

Is this question somehow related to jackrabbit-left-foot encounter? :huh:
I was trained to ALWAYS brake with my right foot - During summer school in 1969..... way, way back in a time when clutches were standard, and autos were optional -
Anyone remember "three on the tree"?
OK - I'm digressing - but I can do that cause I'm an old #@$&....
Peeps that brake with their left foot tend to wear out their brakes early, as well as drive around with their brake lights on - I see it all the time.

So, how many of you still use 10 and 2 for the steering wheel? Even with an airbag? I'd suggest some application of new thought there.
Tradition: 100 years of past practice unhampered by new thought or progress.

Always use right foot to brake, thats why I get more than 3000 miles on a set of brake pads.

Left foot, always, unless heel and toe is called for. In heavy traffic, left hovers over brake, doesn't rest. Also works for breaking tail loose while braking, inducing oversteer, taking advantage of front brake bias. When driving very fast, one finds oneself pressing both pedals almost simultaneously, often. And yes, my first several cars had 3 on the tree, one had 4 on the tree, and I am a shifting God when 4, 5, or six speeds are within my grasp. I took my drivers test on a 4 spd in a VW Fastback, aced it.

10 and 2 or 9 and 3 is the safe way to handle an airbag equipped wheel, IMO. Thumbs out, too (you learn that the hard way when running the icy roads of New England in the winter - snow banks like to dictate wheel direction and snap thumbs like tooth picks).

Pro-Rally drivers drive with the right foot planted on the accelerator and slow down (when necessary) with the left foot on the brake pedal. (many) Modern American drivers (who all drive automatics) often drive with both feet -- modulating control for more or less go or whoa (more pressure w/right foot for more speed -- more pressure w/left foot for less speed). :blink:

formerly Renegade, get used to it.
Right foot, unless I'm in speed racer mode then left foot or heal/toe as necessary.
Of course, my generation was schooled right foot only, clutch or automatic, I think the rational was... actually I don't recall the rational.

I voted right, but that's when I'm driving on the road. I actually raced cars at the track and had to break this habit because on the knife-edge that is car racing there are times when you're on both the gas and the brake and gain that extra fraction of a second with two feet. ...and same thing with stick as long as you're using one gear.
Otherwise, street driving is a one foot affair.
