I've never used my left foot while driving for anything other than a clutch.

Chiming in for manual cars!

Depends on what you're doing.

At the track left foot braking helps with setting up the rear on corner entry. In rally driving (snow/ice) there's a more pronounced effect.

I hang my left foot out the window, so right. Unless I am changing the station or texting with my right foot, then I just hope I don't have to brake for any good reason. And a good reason is one that won't spill my cocktail.

Should have said Left foot always except for my manual cars, quicker response time.

Well, what do you do to signal a right turn then?

You REALLY want to know?

Actually, Runny, I crossed over the turn signal threshold on my last birthday and am now permitted to just drive around with it on. Sometimes, I just go out and sit in the car in the garage with the turn signal on.
