My daily drive is a Transit van, my wife has a Yeti.

Mine is manual, hers is auto, I'm sure many can see what is coming.

I went for the clutch, and mashed the brakes at 60, damn thing felt like it wanted to do a front roll.

Why do autos have to have such a big brake pedal.

I know I'm not the first to do this, so lets have some funny tales about the same?

I feel far much less of a plumb, knowing I'm far from the only one to do this.

Cant see why you would even start to move your left foot to the centre of the pedals when driving an auto.
You don't go for the middle, you go where the clutch pedal would be, and due to the extended width of the brake you catch it with the ball of your foot.

If the brake pedal were the normal size, this would never happen.
