Sharing the road with drivers on an entirely different control scheme is something I am not a fan of. Going from 2 axes of control to 1 axis of control is not a change to be trivialized. Some in the commercial trucking industry would argue that allowing 2 pedal driving was a catastrophe with regard to filtering out low skilled and unsafe drivers.
Cruise control whenever feasible and safe is probably the most polite solution to the consequences of one pedal driving. The freeway is where this kind of driving causes the most frustration for me. I don't think it should be banned but I think drivers should really give a shit about how they impact others around them. We can make it entirely about safety if that helps. At some level being polite aligns with basic physics.
- barbazoo 1y agoYou really only have 1 axis of control with a brake pedal because you have to take your foot of the gas first. With one pedal driving at least you don't have to take off your foot. One pedal driving for me only makes sense if you keep a proper distance to the people around you, such that the limited braking force is sufficient to flow with the traffic, so that wouldn't apply to many drivers out there. Perhaps that's where the confusion comes from.
