Don't try it. As detailed in the title I mentioned, this is a forward driving technique, offensive or defensive, it is better not to try it if you have not received a training.
I say, do not do it in open to traffic, do not try or something, but my car is trying it on its own, sometimes it makes me crazy. (see: city safety )
Left foot brake is hard, it takes habit. Our left foot and brain, accustomed to the clutch, have difficulty dosing.
Combined with heel & toe, left foot brake is even more difficult.
In fast bends, brake with the left foot and then the right foot is adjusted as needed, even if necessary, the gas and brake are used at the same time. Let the rear wheels in the bend be positioned correctly, let the car dive into the bend.
In hard bends, it is necessary to lower the gear, brake with the tip of the right foot and press the accelerator with the heel of the right foot while lowering gear. In the meantime, while the engine brakes to stop the car, the revolving engine to the corner exit is under your feet.
Making a left foot brake a heel and toe in a row burns the brain. Also, approaching at the right angle to enter the bend, the braking point, the optimum speed in the bend and doing this with opponents behind you will probably cause an accident in the first corner.
In normal driving, especially in the city there is no need. Are you catching home in milliseconds?
Where am I doing these things? Am I going on the runway? Of course no, I'm not rich. I have fun and improve myself in simulation games at home. i highly recommend iracing.
Twenty years ago my love of f1 and the idiot I had mastered, not only came to the gas with my auto. nonsense, because the biggest evil that can be done for the automatic transmission with torque converter is to overlap the brake-throttle, throttle-brake transitions or leave too little time between them. not allowing the transmission time to recover in the transition to deceleration or acceleration. And the only "advantage" of braking with the left foot is to do exactly that. This advantage is an advantage when racing, on the track, on the rally track, and not on the road to and from work.
It resulted in me taking the toyota gearbox not 1, not 2, but 3 times and investing more than the second-hand price of the car in total for the transmission repair. don't. I faced problems in the classic automatic, but logically it should not give good results in the cvt, mmt or dsg transmission. Professionals using this technique use it in sequential transmission. the row is not found in any normal passenger car. If your car is not pagani, köningsegg or something, don't get nervous.
I understand that there may be trouble in switching from manual to automatic, but I do not understand why this movement is a problem for those who are used to using automatic vehicles directly without using manual. I started using the vehicle automatically and always used it like this, I have never had a problem.
Try once in the empty space at a slow speed so that we need to do it in traffic like goods. especially when driving at high speed or something.
Definition: don'ts
An action that can be written on the list of little perversions enjoyed by doing it on an empty track. only while doing this, keep the seat belt firmly on the steering wheel, otherwise you will walk around with your car logo on the steering wheel *
especially in an automatic car, he does not start the brake with his left foot. This is one of the biggest causes of accidents for female drivers who learn to drive 2 + 2 = 4 cars in an automatic vehicle, those who switch to automatic vehicles after years of manual driving, and those who say, "What will happen? Look at the "gas and brake crushed 4 people" news, 90% do this with an automatic car. This stupid driving style is the main reason why the slightest danger or panic moment becomes a great danger for the drivers of automatic vehicles.
You are not right, there is no situation that requires you to get optimum performance from your vehicle in traffic. The biggest similarity between those under you and those who are already used is that it has 4 tires and 1 steering wheel. Everything else is different. You are the people who should aim to go from point a to point b in the safest way with your own vehicle, and ultimately, they do not use a space shuttle and use the same mechanical logic for 100 years. When you want to rediscover America, do not play with your own or with someone else's.
It is a racing technique that is sometimes used for weight transfer, making it possible to slow down without reducing the turbo pressure and accelerate without dropping the corner exit to turbo lag. It does not provide any advantage in road conditions, it is very dangerous to use it in traffic with inexperienced feet.
(see left foot brake )
Operation with the left foot is difficult due to the position of the brake pedal. The reason for pressing the brake with the left foot is to press the gas and the brake simultaneously. This technique is used in races, the time from the brake to the accelerator (split-second) is important at cornering exits. In order to gain this time, the accelerator and the brake are pressed at the same time, so that the time is not lost. It is also used in cornering entrances. This technique makes no sense for normal chauffeurs. don't try it
