I learned to drive with automatic cars and was actually taught to only ever use one foot since I didn ' t need to change gears . The reason given was using one for the gas and one for the brake can potentially cause a driver to slam their feet down on both pedals at once . Use one foot , switch from one pedal to the other <| sep |> Out of curiosity , is it a period instead of a question mark because it ' s rhetorical ? <| sep |> 1 I ' m always surprised at how cheap second hand and refurbished systems are over in the US Canada in comparison to the UK Europe ! <| sep |> The tacit support of bad cops caused when they ' re not removed taints all cops , even if they themselves aren ' t bad . That they don ' t try to root out the bad ones on their own is very telling of how much a dirty cop actually offends police officers .
