my left foot has no sensitivity so i always brake too hard and nearly hit my head on the wheel.

TO ALL DRIVERS OUT THERE!!!

never try braking with your left foot in traffic. the left foot is used to smash in the clutch, so you will break much to hard and the inertia of your body will brake even more.

the same thing happens if you brake whil adjusting your seat :D

I'm not actually taking the piss here, but I learned left foot braking on a Logitech G25, then perfected it in a rally car. I never brake with my right foot now!

@DaktorPhil Really eh? That'd be interesting to try.

@911SHIZBO Straight cut gears, much stronger. Even with h-pattern boxes you can just slam it into gear.

@mjfan123085 That's why it takes practice..

@mjfan123085 thats why there's the HANS device ;) but you'll look weird as heck driving around with a helmet in traffic in, say, a toyota camry

@911SHIZBO I don't know loads about this type of box but I believe so yes
