[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 4941296, member: 166"] Do whatever you feel comfortable with. My Navarra & road car autos have the pedals arranged that left foot braking is comfortable. Mrs B's 1 Series BMW auto has the brake quite far to the right so is awkward to do this with, so right foot only. I've learned to brake with either foot & it becomes more natural with practice. My advanced driving instructor got me doing left foot braking. It can help the balance of the car near the apex of the corner where you're lifting off the brake slowly and starting to get the power on to accelerate out of the corner. On track work it helps get a rear wheel drive car around a corner with less steering input :D Probably not a technique for the road & pointless in a front wheel drive for obvious reasons. VW/Audi group cars won't let you apply power and brake at the same time, which is a right PITA when you're trying to get out of a junction swiftly or do a hill start as the ECU shuts off the power & there's a time delay before you start to move.
