Like I implied somewhere above, that does not necessarily prove anything. Driving schools also teach a non-optimal method of setting side mirrros. Heck, my drving school back in the previous century taught me to parallel park in a way that wouldn't translate to any other car. They taught me to pass the exam in the particular car, not to drive.

In the meantime, thanks to all of you who responded to my actual question - but it was also interesting to read all answers that were off topic. By the way, looks like my position is not so uncommon: http://jalopnik.com/why-you-should-b...foot-434604934 Last edited by mdm; 01-19-2016 at 05:24 PM. |

But reading all negative opinions on the technique itself was interesting too. |

If you are 16 and use both feet on your driving test will they still pass you?
But seriously, even if you are lazy, how much MORE effort does it take to use both feet rather than just one. I don geddit.

To answer the OP question, there is no difference. Its really similar on all cars.I used to do that when I first started driving in general and quickly stopped doing it, since I noticed that I was riding the brake pedals even tho it doesn't feel like it, and it jerks and stuff a lot. Plus it wouldn't be ideal in case of emergency, even tho some of the newer car has those safety tech that would somewhat (Wouldn't rely on it) stop the car from accel when both are pressed, on Toyota its called the "Smart Stop Technology (SST)".

Fast forward to the same corner after PD and the lap timer showing higher speeds, better sector times, and a confident warm-fuzzy in the driver. As far as Ice Mode, I've experienced it only twice getting a little overzealous in AX with LFB, rotation, and trying to keep the RPM's up. Best guess, the problem compounds when turning because the wheels are naturally rotating at different speeds that the computer has to account for, add in the G's and yaw sensor inputs, sprinkle with throttle position sensor and poof... *BSOD* Again, all the above is not street driving, just an example that the computer does not always know best. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread... |
