Do You Drive with Foot Resting on Clutch?

[im_hummer_freak]

i keep my leg on the clutch while in heavy traffic. rest of the times its on the ground or dead pedal depending on the car. i wish all cars had a dead pedal.

I rarely drive! But then, when I do, my foot never rests on the clutch.

No harm if you don't press the clutch. But unknowingly it gets pressed, which you might not notice.

When I was new to driving automobiles, I used to make this mistake, but not now. M800 clutch bore the burnt of my driving style initially, but now I am used to driving cars so no issues no this front. Here I will like to mention one thing that if one has broad toe like me, it becomes very difficult to bring the foot up from the dead pedal ( if the car comes with one ). This is quite irritating, but later on with experience, one gets along and gets used to almost any car.

In city traffic i always keep my legs on clutch, and on highways i always use foot rest.

not a good thing to do mate.

Never. It will lead to early wearing of the clutch plates and low FE too.

Came to hear of a case when this lady ate thru two clutch plates with her habit of resting her foot on the clutch.
The mechanics at the workshop cured her of the habit by linking the room lamp to the clutch, so every time she depressed the clutch lever, the lamp would go on, to remind her to take the foot off!!

This is very innovative idea to teach some lesson.
