Proper Driving

[oj88]

I did this when I forced myself to drive even if wala pang experience.
I thought this was the proper driving until I saw someone how his right foot move to gas pedal and back to brake.

But sometimes may use din ito.
Sa inclined roads when I was stuck in the middle na medyo nakadikit sa akin ang sa likod, when I press brake to stop and to prevent bumping the rear, I slowly move my left foot to brake pedal.
When its on a comfortable position na, I now move my right foot to gas pedal.
So when its time to accelerate, nakaprepare na left foot to press brake para hindi maatrasan yung nasa likod na car.

Done badly, that's one way to rear-end the car in front of you.

Anyway, unless it's a very steep incline, many A/Ts have hill-assist either permanently enabled or one that can be switched on. Even the old 1st gen Innova A/T has it (permanently enabled). On an incline like in a carpark building ramp, if I let go of the gas pedal, the vehicle does not slide back. Though it's still best practice to have your foot on the brakes nevertheless. However, you're assured that the car will stay put when you move your foot off the brakes and onto the gas pedal.

If it's a steeper grade, use the handbrake to hold the vehicle.
