Do you use your teeth to handbrake

[fumanchu1]

Just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were on using your teeth to engage the handbrake. I have to functional hands and know of the proper technique but will continue to go against that and use my own methods.


I'd just like to know of real reasons why I shouldn't do it:


Like: my teeth will crack in 20k miles tops


not like: you won't have enough reaction time, will get confused and run over a Ronald Mcdonald birthday party.

This really isn't much more a troll than some of the other recent "driving technique" inquiries that aren't even inquiries, but a statement of horrible intentions...

I've been using my teeth to hand brake for quite a while. What I notice is that I loose most of my visibility but in regards to drifting it works quite well! I can now keep both of my hands on the wheel and have control of my car much much better than I did with 1 handing a drift turn. I have seen some teeth marks arise on my handbrake and it might wear it out a little bit quicker but in all honesty I say you should definately go for it! you should be 50% better in your day to day life by doing so.

Statement of criminal negligence if you want to go all out.

I tried that but my dentist wasn't very happy

Tongue only, that's the way they do it in Europe. Using teeth is the mark of an unskilled driver.

As @Tcoat always says "you cant force funny"

Whenever I want to power brake, I open my door and put my left foot down heel first to slow the vehicle down and guide it through the turn. I learned for this trick during motocross and it seems to translate well.

For those of you that seem to think this is a bad idea, these are just opinions and I'm going to continue anyways even though I asked for your advice. Also, a monkey visited me from outer space and gave me magic foot powers, so I'm not exactly a normal case example.

If my foot doesn't work well enough, I use my middle leg

Cant do that. That's what I steer with when my hands are full of a burger & coke, and both feet are on the pedals (left foot on the brake, right foot operating gas & clutch).

Whenever I use my handbrake I make sure I throw the car in reverse open my car door then pull up the handbrake with my teeth and jump out the car and hope to god it stops

Are you insulting my genius? because I don't take kindly to people who don't take kindly to taking kindly of my thread kindly making fun of other people flawed logic.
