This question may seem ridiculously Off Topic, but it’s not:
“What size shoe does the mechanic wear?”
I ask, because I’m one of those short guys (5ft-8’) with big feet (Size 14 EE), and I have always had to be very careful to make damn sure my right foot was completely on the gas or completely on the brake pedals. I used to experience a sudden lurch forward, usually while coasting to a stop, and I would blame ‘mechanical malfunctions’ too. Then I was forced to admit, at least to myself, that my toes were probably pushing the brake while my heel was on the gas.
that my toes were probably pushing the brake while my heel was on the gas.Believe it or not, That technique works for stopping on slippery roads.
Keeping a little power to the wheels while braking will prevent the wheels from locking up. It takes coordination and practice but it works.
It works best on 4x4. It might kill the motor on a stick. but better the motor than you or someone else.
