i personally hover my left foot over break pedal and right foot on gas, a corvette other day that i was tailgating slammed on his breaks full strength and i managed not to hit him it was awesome, then he let me by and tried to slam into the side of me, what ever i only had a 20k$ car at the time so i let him try it (and zoomed off) was very weird but it proved my technique of hovering with your foot over break while driving to close is very good thing to do, i also have over sized breaks and 20" tires seems to help slow me down, guy was a psycho, now if he would have hit a brick wall in front me i doubt i could stop in time (like in your scenario so you kinda have to be looking ahead of the car in front of you,, (why i hate it when suv with tinted windows is in front of me)
You're the psycho.
You're one of the guys who failed reading comprehension. That's a statement, not a question.
i'm seeing a pattern to your posts and it's very trollish.
Embarrassment is the national pastime in Canuckistan.
Always follow far enough behind the car in front of you so that if it were to suddenly stop you could avoid hitting it without issue.

Ouch. Good to hear you're not hurt dude.
By any chance, was this on Lougheed Highway?
Just a tip as you continue learning to drive: Your brakes are not the only option for an escape. Ideally, you want to stagger your car so you have space in front, beside, and behind (and continually check around you to maintain that space).
Then, when someone brakes suddenly in front of you, you can switch lanes or go on the shoulder temporarily to avoid trouble completely.
Are you taking Young Drivers in addition to driving with your Dad? I'd highly recommend it - the training has saved my ass on a number of occasions.
YA! Do that and two cars pass you and insert themselves into that space with a one finger salute. My best advice is to try to keep an eye on what the five cars ahead of you are doing. I was a truck driver and could do that.
they have cars in Canada now?
Isn't it considered pretty bad form to drive with both feet. That is you are supposed to use one foot and swivel between brake and gas.
nope who told you that? i guess you wouldnt know since you got in car wreak and you dont even have a license, ive been driving for hmm 17 years? ive never got in a wreak with me driving but have been in tons with others driving, ask anyone that races if they drive with two feet
Two footing an automatic = autofail, unless you're Sammy Hagar, even then it's pretty fail.
