I have never driven a "real" truck so I'm confused by this. I drive automatic so my left foot never does anything. Can you tell me a bit more about the arrangement that forces you to use your left foot for brakes?
- bruce511 3y agoThe steering column was big, and went all the way to the floor. So basically one foot was on the left, one on the right. Think two footwells instead of 1. You couldn't cross the right-foot over to the left pedal. Being a driver was tricky, being a passenger was worse - while learning the braking tended to be "very unsubtle".
