    My dad used to yell at me for trying to drive like this when I was a teenager!

    Somehow my brain decided that if I needed to drive slower then I should just add some brakes instead of just letting off the gas…

    That lasted about a week lol

      I’ve always heard that this is how a lot of the “wrong pedal” accidents go. Two foot drivers get panicked in an accident and slam on both the gas and the brakes at the same time. I feel like the brake should be able to override the gas though. But I’ve never tried it and am not about to lol.
