Well to be fair, it's an easy mistake to make.....said no-one. EVER!

 

Although he does look like the type who only ever drives autos, so probably left foot brakes in normal driving. ether that or the pedals are a bit closer together than what he is used to.

I've got a drive in an MP4-12C coming up with this company soon, fortunately, there are only two pedals in those...

 

That's a photocopier isn't it?

There was someone on this forum recently who "missed" the brake pedal and rear ended someone as a result. I can't remember who that was.

 

This guy is doing a max of 77mph with no cars on the road. He should be forced to retake his test. At least when morons mistakenly press the throttle, you can argue the same foot. I suppose it doesn't help when you have someone blabbering next to you.


Sorry, this is a real collosal, absolute, dunderhead action.

I can sort of understand that too, maybe it slipped off or whatnot. But this bloke would have had to move his foot miles across the footwell!

 

I slipped off the brake pedal once trying to heal toe into 2nd and coasted straight over a cross road once. Learned not to do that in the wrong shoes again.

 

It appears a lot of posters are assuming that he's using his right foot to brake.

I suspect he's left foot braking and hitting the clutch (unusual car/pedal for him, used to left-foot braking in autos etc.)

That's not to excuse the driver, clearly not safe on the track (or roads for that matter!!)

 

I don't know of any drivers of automatic transmissions who use their left foot to brake. Surely only racing / professional drivers do that?

 

Nor do I (know any personally) but over the years, I've heard of many people that do.

 

Maybe he came from playing video games with a wheel/pedal setup and fancied some real track action and tried to replicate his technique in real life.

 

I don't see him as the type to have such a setup and dress as Luigi while playing Mario Kart. You, on the other hand...
