Maybe they don’t teach this anymore but when I took drivers ed we were taught to use the left foot lightly on the brake after going through a puddle to dry the brakes…
I didn’t think cars were supposed to just ignore the gas pedal when the brakes are applied.
You have clearly never driven a manual transmission, nor have the slightest idea how to. It is not possible to operate a manual transmission without using both feet on the pedals.
Please don’t comment authoritatively about things you know nothing about. It just makes us all a little bit worse off.
You use the left foot on the clutch only. The other one alternates between the two pedals. I’m likely older than you are and have driven manual vehicles all my life.

WTF is that? Have never heard of drying the brakes ever.
You should never be using your left foot on the pedals. Also, disk brakes always are making light contact, so you have zero reason to “dry” them.
Unless you are driving a manual transmission.
Yeah, no. Still a terrible idea.

Well done on your comment.
“Yeah well that’s just, like, your opinion man.”
That’s for an extremely specific use case though.
Yeah they taught that when I took driver’s ed in 1996. I don’t know if it applies anymore.
