There are vastly more people who are just bad drivers who use both feet like this out of poor skills or bad habit. Afaik this was the main cause of "unintended acceleration" with panicked drivers.

- DakotaR 4y agoI hate that technique, maybe it's a motorcycle instinct to use the foot brake for finer control. But more importantly, the Mercedes I had to two-foot up onto the ramps didn't have a handbrake. My current car has hill assist but I still have to use two feet for backing up sharp hills.
