“That the injuries occurred to the lower-right leg of Woods is not surprising, Jung said, because those typically happen when a driver is slamming on the brake, as opposed to the left leg, which might be off to the side.”

I had a great Dad as my driving teacher and drove standards for much of my life. I can’t believe the above sentence. That’s the way I drive, but most people don’t. It seems like most of the time that I have someone in the car with me, sooner or later the comment is made, “why is your left foot just sitting there, why don’t you use it on the brake.”

I always resist the urge to say, “because I don’t want to drive down the street with the accelerator and brake BOTH being depressed like so many of you idiots do.”

...sooner or later the comment is made, “why is your left foot just sitting there, why don’t you use it on the brake."

Odds are that those folks have never, ever driven a vehicle with a manual transmission.
