If you have your left foot on the brake you need to hold the foot up.
Resting the front of your foot on the brake pedal is riding the brakes
on many cars. After hours on the road you will relax those muscles.

As a practical matter, you don't hold your foot in the air, nor do you
rest in on the pedal. You keep your foot on the floor just like any other
driver. If you are in a situation where you "may" need the brakes at any
time, you can then elect to move that foot to a ready position, thus the
faster reaction time.

"Faster" than using the right foot, which is already there? Left foot
brakers should not be allowed to drive. Period.


The right foot is not already there, it's pushing on the gas. That's
why LFB is better, you can be PREPARED to brake before you even let
off the gas. If you don't need to brake nothing's been lost.
Are you the crazy bugger who's always right on my bumper driving
down the highway???
Get your foot OFF the gas before you need to stop.

Sheeesh!!.
