Where do you keep your foot?

[obi_waynne]

I noticed today that whenever my foot is not on the accelerator it hovers over the brake pedal. It is very much an ingrained habit but one I cannot remember being taught. It means braking takes less time in an emergency.

Does anyone else do this? Where do you rest your clutch foot when you are not using the clutch?

Right foot is either on accelerator or brake. When driving on cruise control it's back by the seat. Clearly you still have to look around and prepare to react when necessary.

Left foot is always back under seat almost unless using clutch. This is a habit formed during years of driving autos.

You must have lower leg muscles like a professional footballer. My feet would've dropped off years ago.

same unless on motorway then left side of clutch on handy pad, right foot accel or brake.

Does that mean your foot is touching the clutch or literally hovering over it?

Heel on the floor in front of the clutch but not touching the clutch...just ready to.

Oh dear...how'd we all miss that?!

 

[obi_waynne]

Doh!

 

[old-git]

I find that, generally, the best place for my foot is on the end of my leg. Stops me falling over

You know - I thought it would be impossible to derail this thread! You guys crack me up! Perhaps the question should have been much more specific....

you bet me to it.

in the polo i do the same as you waynne but in my old rover the clutch was so heavy i could rest my left foot on it without it moving, great!

I keep my right foot planted firmly to the floor on the accelerator :amazed:

Depends what i'm doing. Got a tiny engine so usually pushing accelerator all the time and my left foot on the floor next to clutch. I'm gonna make my clutch stiffer on the mini so I can rest my foot on there without damaging the engine. Maybe anyway. It's just me being lazy...
