My Left Foot (Where do you put yours?)

cormie · 2006-09-21 08:40:36

Where do you put your left foot when driving and when the clutch is not in use? Do you rest it on the clutch itself with your heel on the floor or do you put your whole foot flat down on the floor?

Footrest or sometimes brake if the traffic is bad (like RobAMerc).

What's a clutch?

I'm on the clutch as I change gears probably more than twice every 30 seconds under my normal driving circumstances.

There's a bit of play before it engages and it has a long throw, but I mainly hover anyway

I don't have a footrest:(

I rest my left leg on the footrest in my Auto, I never use it for anything my right leg does all the braking and accelerating.

Automatics for the Win, Drove into Dublin twice last weekend (up for the all-Ireland) and I wonder how anyone could stay sane with the traffic not a mind if you were driving it in a Manual. I managed it easily I guess not bad for someone on the road only 2 and a half months. Damn hot women in the suburbs too.
