    I absolutely hate driving behind someone who two foots it. The brake lights are constantly flashing. You can never tell when they need to stop and when they are just activating the (*&)(^%$ brake lights accidentally by leaving their left foot on the brake pedal. If you *are* a two footer, have a friend drive behind you some time to make sure you aren't causing the brake light to flash constantly. It is anoying and potentially very dangerous because after a while, the poor sod behind you just ignores the brake light.

    If you're resting a foot on the brake pedal at all while driving, you're doing it all wrong unless you have carbon fiber brakes, which need a little heating prior to ones marker at a turn. I try not to condemn an idea just because some folks don't quite get it right.
