I dont have this problem all the time, maybe 10% of the time but it still scares the hell out of me those times that I cant stop.

i don't know. i'm thinking of maybe just getting rid of the car altogether before i end up rear-ending somebody or worse.

3. STOP DRIVING SO CLOSE TO OTHER CARS
4. PAY ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC
5. QUIT COMPLAINING

i realized that my heel is actually underneath the brake pedal since this is the one you need to have the quickest reaction time to. and i turn the top of my foot to hit the gas.
this is just instinct for me and most other people.
btw, the braking picture was "slamming" and i stopped just fine. notice my heel is still touching the ground.
so take note of these picture. this is the PROPER way to drive. drive like this and you wont have a problem. if i dont have a problem with a size 13 there is NO reason you should.

you can reach the "small" brake pedal the same way. so if you have a small pedal then your foot will hit? that is stupid. yes i can drive an auto and i know i could drive a manual better then you so shut it

Listen man.. Go to driving school and the first they will teach you is the possition of foot on the brake and gas peddel. When you accelerate it should be like this / when you brake,the heal stays where it was and your toes go like this \ . Good luck with ur next car, but learn to drive first.

Yeah, uh, well...I own a 2001 SE AE. I also wear a size 13 shoe and have no problem breaking. I really dont think that you should be breaking with your heel man. That's probably the dangerous part. The responsiveness, agility, and power of your ankle is WAY enough to get you to stop promptly if you just break with the ***** of your foot/middle foot. That's just my take on it.
