Do you use two feet or one (for automatic car)? I've heard many debates about which is safer, and I'm just curious as to what people here think. (I personally prefer to use two feet.)

Two feet if I'm driving in city limits. One (or none) if I'm on the highway.

2 feet is how u should go, highway or city. u don't want to be pressing both A & B at the same time.

One. Even on a manual transmission, you use two because you need one of your feet to be on the clutches at all times; the other foot switches between the accelerator and the brakes. Hence, only one is required. As far as preference goes, you could use both, but you can make do just as safely with one because you don't hit the brakes and the accelerator at the same time.

I was habituated to use manual cars in Nepal. So, here also for the automatic cars, my left foot never goes to brake. So I use only 1 foot for automatic cars.

What?? people use 2 feet for automatic? That's news to me... lol... and what the hell is it suppose to mean that is is safer? As someone said above you never hit the brake and accelerator at the same time so I wouldn't know why someone would use 2 feet..

Oviously, you use same foot for brake and accelator, right foot. The main reason is brake and accelator should not press at same time. The output is zero.It should be press simultanously. I know someone, who uses both foot. what i think is those who learned driving from nepal and drove few weeks those poeple use one leg (because of manual shift). And those who learn here generally use both legs for brake and accelator.

Sometimes when you are day dreaming or not paying enough attention to the traffic, two feet driving is risking lives. Suppose you see a child come in front of your car suddenly, you can not tell you will not press accelerator instead of brakes. I have a two feet user fren who pressed his accelerator pedal hard instead of brakes and collided to the apartment gate.

Acceleration (gas) and brakes are two opposite process while operating a vehicle. Acceleration is done to increase speed and brake to decrease the speed of a vehicle. You either need to increase or decrease the speed of your vehicle at a time. When you press gas, you are burning fuel and increasing your speed. As you apply brakes, the momentum you’ve gained by the fuel is decreased. Hence the lesser you apply brakes, the lesser you’ll spend on fuel. When you use both feet for gas and brakes, you will be pressing both feet at the same time unknowingly (even a small dab on the pedal will activate it), which will - Deteriorate your transmission.
- Put the brake lights on, even when you are accelerating, putting the vehicle
behind you and yourself at risk. - Make you spend more money on gas.
- They are opposites. They don’t go together.
- Put you to high risk, when you need to apply sudden brakes. You tend to press
both your feet. - Wear out your brakes, eventually leading to break fluid leakage and break fails.
Using two feet is never recommended. Even in manual transmission, you use ONLY ONE foot for Brake and accelerator (gas). You use other foot for clutch during gear shifts. If you’ve learned driving yourself or your instructor didn’t pay much attention to how many feet you were using, you may have gotten yourself into a dangerous practice; even though you’ve mastered driving using two feet for brake and accelerator.
My two cents.

Couldn't agree more with 11th dimension. Automatic cars were meant to be driven by using only one(right) foot. Using both legs sounds just funny. As most of the guys have pointed out, I need not reiterate the fact that driving an automatic car with both feet is like playing chess with both hands simultaneously.

I use two feet. One to control Accelerator OR (not and) Break , another to kick the guy who started this stupid thread. Even if you do use two, who the f cares??

U r supposed to use only one foot for gas and brake pedals...many people already gave their opinion on this...so, I am gonna make my point to..just look underneath ur steering wheel u will see three pedals(four on manual) one is called DEAD PEDAL..so that u can rest ur left foot on it and drive with ONLY right foot...

One foot of course, leave your left foot at the resting pedal at all times (saves you big time)
