I've been driving with two feet for over a decade on my automatic Honda. I feel that it has saved me from countless accidents because I have been able to hit the brake quicker than if I drove with one foot. I feel much safer with two feet. I've never pressed both at one time as other people have suggested and I don't think it has caused any more wear on the car as other people have told me it could ruin the transmission.
Does anyone else drive with two feet and do you think it causes the car to wear out any quicker?

The only place two feet should be on the accelerator and brake at the same time is the race track. Period.
You are a danger to us all the day you freak out and slam both feet to the floor and mow down a crowd of people.
One for the accelerator and brake, and the other for the clutch.
In an auto, the only time I'll ever use two feet is if there's a problem with the car and I'm trying to stop it stalling, or if I'm doing a burnout.
same.
nothing wrong with left foot braking if you can do it right, but many end up riding the brake unknowingly. you can recognize them in a heartbeat because the brake lights are on but they're not slowing.
i've tried it a few times, and like Mr. Cat I lacked the dexterity to properly modulate the pedal. i'm sure with practice i would get it down, but i'm fine with conventional methods for now.

NO WAY!!! Only if I'm in a stick and need my left foot for the clutch.
It is just flat out not a good habit to get used to. As someone else pointed out about the ones with the brake lights on but they are not slowing down or the ones that plow into a crowd or into a building and THOUGHT they were stopping but they also had a foot on the gas pedal........... they tend to be elderly. If you get into this bad habit of using two feet as you age your reflexes take a beating. You are slower to respond and you will end up being one of the people that DOES have your foot on the brake and you are "riding the brake" and you will wear them out. Or we will read about you on the news as you had both feet firmly planted down on both pedals and went plowing into a crowd of people or into a storefront.
Stop this bad habit ASAP!!!!
