Or just learn from the stupid stomp your left foot does automatically and then realize that there simply is not a pedal there in the automatic. Then just keep sticking that left foot in one place and you'll get the hang of it eventually.
For those who don’t understand, he mistakes the brake for the clutch, the clutch you push all the way down and then shift so he pushed the break all the way down instead
@JJs Videos But normally some other cars have an e-brake pedal, so I may have thought that he mistakenly thought it was the clutch pedal and stopped the car instantly.

I had to jump into my manual car to take it to the local garage and was red lining it down the road not knowing why, then it clicked! "Lou... foot...clutch...engage!" I was also super shocked to learn if you're taught to drive in autos you have to learn to drive all over again to drive manuals but not the other way around.
I always carry a water flask because I live in AZ and my first vehicle was a manual 2001 f150 I'm not good with it but I got used to always having my hand on the stick so I always grab my water flask.

And had to ask the wife. Turns out, the car has to be in "park" before the key will come out. Oof.
This! I recently switched from a manual to an automatic and had the same issue. Took some toggling to realize that’s how the key comes out. It amazes me how little work I have to put into driving now and the auto comes in handy in traffic
Can confirm. Driven nothing but manuals for 25 years, then got an automatic hire car on holiday. Constant emergency stops, until I realised the left foot should stay the hell away from the pedals.
When you drive manual all day every day, then you hop in a truck with the e-brake where you expect a clutch pedal to be and you try to change gear at 60 miles an hour
The e brake on the van is gone because it's a pedal and my dad kept driving off with it on...lucky for me when I started driving the van because every now and then I smack it with my left foot.
So true. I *kept* doing this when I tried to drive an automatic van. Every single junction turned into an emergency stop ... my left foot has zero chill, apparently.

@@de4d092it’s not difficult to brake in manual. You just clutch in, press the brake, and switch to 1st gear/neutral depending on the stop. It’s more of the constant switching in traffic from 1st to 2nd gear to braking, then starting all over again constantly just to creep forward. That part is terrible.
That's no lie 😂. My last 5 cars including my current daily I ever own was stick, so the habit is there to "automatically" use my clutch feet when braking in an automatic 😂. I always try to mentally program my left leg to lean on the door, which doesn't always work😅, especially for sudden braking 😔
@@jasquer I don't. Only to gear down while using the breaks which helps with engine braking. Original breaks lasted 13 years on my daily driver 09 Camry. Also I'm still on my original clutch @ 121, 000 miles. I avoid using it for braking just for shifting, which I learned the hard way on first car😂

I did that with a rental van coming off the motorway at 60 mph 5 minutes after leaving the place. Thank god no-one was following close behind.. would've had fun trying to explain that to the rental company!! 🤦😂
Pretty easy to explain that. Just claim you saw an animal crossing the road and had to hit the brakes. If someone behind you slams into you, it is almost always 100% their fault.
that just doens’t make sense . Im a manual driver if I imagine myself driving an auto , I would just press the air thinking that it’s the clutch cuz of muscle memory the brake pedal is in the middle . It’s far from the clutch pedal
Driving my school bus, I went for the “clutch”. It’s an automatic but in its place happens to be the lever for the air horn 😂 you can piece together what happened lol
I get in every vehicle and instinctively press the clutch in. So when I have to drive an auto, I sit there for about 10 seconds trying to figure out where the clutch went.
I feel every frame of this. At one point my wife and I drove the same car. Same interior color, same general controls, mine was standard, hers was auto. The muscle memory is real, and that brake pedal does not like a full send.
I remember pulling up at my place of work in a rental. automatic. my colleagues were standing outside watching me arrive. naturally I wanted to park so I fully engaged the cluch. (plot twist: it was the brake) tires squealing. me eating the steering wheel. laughs were had. such a fun day.
Oh dude, I was driving my cousin to the airport in his automatic, I was complaining to him that the breaks are too tight. Half way across the journey I figured that I have to break with my right...
@@chrisbeaudoin9818 No but it feels logical to use both feet when you've never been taught how to drive an automatic. My mum and I did the same thing as we're both used to driving manual cars.
@@captainuki There is. In a manual car you use both feet to press clutch, break and gas. This causes people to instinctively put one foot on each pedal. The brake pedal in an automatic is often very big and sensitive so that makes it difficult to operate with a left foot that is used to a clutch with a very long travel.
Same here, I never really have mixed them up. I think it has to with the mindset you go in the car with, because we have two cars in our family: an automatic Chrysler minivan and a manual Transit and when I drive either of those it's like a switch flips in my brain.
For those confused, he pressed the brake because of his instinct to press the clutch down, and the brake was the only pedal for the left foot, he did it instinctively. I was was confused for a bit too.
But that still shouldn't happen. The position for the clutch pedal is farther to the left. When I droved an automatic for the first time my left foot just hit the floor not the break as break is not in the normal "proximity" where the clutch pedal would be. The only time I accidentally pressed break as well as clutch was when I wore snowboard boots as they are very wide.
@@alexandruilea915it's "brake" but that all depends on the car. Some put the clutch closer to the brake (this is preferred for ease of downshifting while braking, ao more common in sportier cars). Regardless, a driver might habitually put their foot to where they know a pedal is even if it's a little to the tight of where the clutch usually is (and isn't the clutch). Like, no one tells your _instinct_ that leftmost pedal isn't the clutch so don't aim for and stab at it.
@@alexandruilea915But it does happen. To pretty much everyone who only knows manual. Your left foot looks for a pedal. There isn't one, so you look for it and find it close by, not realising in the moment that it's too close to the gas pedal and therefore could only be the brake. Lots of manual cars have differing or seemingly strange pedal placement, and the unfamiliarity of the car will only make this mistake more likely. Edit: Yeah, basically what @nthgth said.
Yes, but the break pedal on an automatic is ridiculously wider and its left tip reaches the place where the clutch pedal was on a manual car. This is why he stomps the break pedal with the tip of this left foot. I know that because I did exactly the same the first time I drove an automatic. 😅
OMG YESSS!!! This happened to me a couple weeks back My family were coming back from vacation and ask my parents friend to pick us up,they had an automatic car and at the time my dad (while taking the car from the parking lot) got lost and i got a chance to step in and help.well its my first time driving an automatic so i started slowly and started heading to the arrival pickup area,everythings fine and dandy till we hit the highway. The road conditions where i came from is less than ideal ao theres a lot of bumpy surfaces on it (it also may be due to the fact this road that is connecting the city and the airport is freshly paved so the ground isnt solid yet) When i got to the first bumpy area its all still fine since i can somewhat feel the brake and the torque disengaging But when i got the second bumpy area i hit the brakes Waaaay to hard and since nobody was wearing seatbelts,were sent flying to the front. Nobody was hurt and luckily no one was behind us at the time,but i did got the stereotypical asian shouting from the back of the car. TL;DR First time driving an automatic,ended up vibe checking the whole car. No one was injured
Why? Do you use brakes with your left leg in a manual? I drive both and never had this problem probably because I use left only for clutch and in an automatic I use only right for both accelerator and brake
@@H8nji yeah I get that but still the clutch is always to the extreme left right? Even if the brakes are wider it shouldn't actually be a problem. And here I saw a lot of comments who have said while driving an automatic they use left leg for brakes.
I drove a manual for over 6 years, daily, and then I got an automatic and I kept pressing the invisible clutch everytime I started the car, drove or stopped. It was hard to get used to.
Lmfao done this when I got in my dad's truck after driving my Challenger everyday for a year. At least I had my seat belt on but my buddy about shit himself lmao
I’ve never done this either, but if I’ve been driving my manual cars for a week and switch to my auto the following week, I usually catch myself going to push in the clutch pedal before starting my auto car
Yeah me neither. People who do this "accidently" should really get their license revoked if they are paying THAT less attention i dont wanna know how they are going on the road.
@@skylinesenpai5554 No this happened to me because I'd never driven in an automatic my whole life and I know no one who owns an automatic. No one told me you're not supposed to use your left leg. Automatics just aren't common here.
My employer needed me to pick up a important part from a different location like 350 miles away. I got in the company car and started going spiked the ever living shit out of the brakes so hard they called me because tattle tell thought i got into a wreck 😂
I drive an automatic Subaru Legacy 3.0r and I still love it even though I know it’s just a JOKE it just baffles me how the Whole car scene Is laughing at this just bcause its a Automatic it just gets bad rep
Do you have a robot eat your breakfast? Do you have a robot fuck your wife? Yeah sure those might be convenient, but theres something not quite right about it.

that just doens’t make sense . Im a manual driver if I imagine myself driving an auto , I would just press the air thinking that it’s the clutch cuz of muscle memory the brake pedal is in the middle . It’s far from the clutch pedal
Driving my school bus, I went for the “clutch”. It’s an automatic but in its place happens to be the lever for the air horn 😂 you can piece together what happened lol
Lol is there no room on the steering wheel for a horn button?
Never hit the brake thinking it was the clutch, but have freaked out coming to a stop because I couldn't find the clutch.
heel toe downshift in an automatic = death, noted
I get in every vehicle and instinctively press the clutch in. So when I have to drive an auto, I sit there for about 10 seconds trying to figure out where the clutch went.
Most auto sucks until you get into a proper DCT, absolutely incredible driving experience with a fast car
i’ve driven a couple dct porsches, but never got to shift them myself :( i will eventually compare a sporty dct to a manual
I literally just did this half an hour ago 😂
half an hour ago you flew out the front windshield of your car!! Are you okay?!
@@viperhyper5877 he is probably ded
Man Just commited deatj
@@phantomgamingignt6275one less furry is a win for all normal people
I feel every frame of this. At one point my wife and I drove the same car. Same interior color, same general controls, mine was standard, hers was auto. The muscle memory is real, and that brake pedal does not like a full send.
Really reminds you how well cars actually brake as your spine gets ejected out the top of your head
I remember pulling up at my place of work in a rental. automatic.
my colleagues were standing outside watching me arrive.
naturally I wanted to park so I fully engaged the cluch. (plot twist: it was the brake)
tires squealing. me eating the steering wheel. laughs were had. such a fun day.
This is way too accurate💀💀 have had it many times before, accidentally braking with my left foot trying to press the clutch
Ah man, that's relatable when you change from manual to automatic or first time u drive an automatic car...
Stepping on the brake pedal with full force as if it was the clutch pedal is SPOT ON.
I honestly thought I was an idiot for doing this. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Oh dude, I was driving my cousin to the airport in his automatic, I was complaining to him that the breaks are too tight. Half way across the journey I figured that I have to break with my right...
You brake with your left foot in a manual car? Tf?
@@chrisbeaudoin9818 No but it feels logical to use both feet when you've never been taught how to drive an automatic. My mum and I did the same thing as we're both used to driving manual cars.
@@LMvdB02 there is no logic in your logic :D
@@captainuki There is. In a manual car you use both feet to press clutch, break and gas. This causes people to instinctively put one foot on each pedal. The brake pedal in an automatic is often very big and sensitive so that makes it difficult to operate with a left foot that is used to a clutch with a very long travel.
Omfg this is me I literally smacked my head lmfao! Damn muscle memory!!! Lmfaoo
What's your Instagram making you my gf
@@BlingJ. bro down bad
That gentle music got me!!!
and that’s why I can never drive a regular automatic again without a reminder
Nah my dad literally always tells me whatever you do, don't use your left leg at all 😂
Same!
Happened to me when I first rode an automatic bike. Almost had an accident I pressed the rear brake thinking it's a clutch
Just started manual recently, and I already relate to this.
I never really mixed the two i just knew I was in a automatic and knew i was driving a manual just experience from both ends
Same here, I never really have mixed them up. I think it has to with the mindset you go in the car with, because we have two cars in our family: an automatic Chrysler minivan and a manual Transit and when I drive either of those it's like a switch flips in my brain.
Goes back into manual
*insert horse sounds*
I always accidentally kick the floor of my work truck when I get in
The truth!
Even am a Manual driver but still knows how to drive automatic
Yup, me stomping on the floorboard like, "Where's the clutch?"
I have never done that but I do still sometimes find myself looking for a clutch pedal.
I’m have too much free time with my right hand and left foot…I learned that I shouldn’t have idle limbs while drvn…
worst fear when driving an auto is to forget shifting it in park😂
I feel awful because I stop so rapidly and the person behind has to think fast
the music made me dying 💀💀💀
" a wild stop sign appears " 😂😂😂
For those confused, he pressed the brake because of his instinct to press the clutch down, and the brake was the only pedal for the left foot, he did it instinctively. I was was confused for a bit too.
But that still shouldn't happen. The position for the clutch pedal is farther to the left. When I droved an automatic for the first time my left foot just hit the floor not the break as break is not in the normal "proximity" where the clutch pedal would be. The only time I accidentally pressed break as well as clutch was when I wore snowboard boots as they are very wide.
@@alexandruilea915 yes, this is why I was confused
@@alexandruilea915it's "brake" but that all depends on the car. Some put the clutch closer to the brake (this is preferred for ease of downshifting while braking, ao more common in sportier cars).
Regardless, a driver might habitually put their foot to where they know a pedal is even if it's a little to the tight of where the clutch usually is (and isn't the clutch).
Like, no one tells your _instinct_ that leftmost pedal isn't the clutch so don't aim for and stab at it.
@@alexandruilea915But it does happen. To pretty much everyone who only knows manual. Your left foot looks for a pedal. There isn't one, so you look for it and find it close by, not realising in the moment that it's too close to the gas pedal and therefore could only be the brake. Lots of manual cars have differing or seemingly strange pedal placement, and the unfamiliarity of the car will only make this mistake more likely.
Edit: Yeah, basically what @nthgth said.
Yes, but the break pedal on an automatic is ridiculously wider and its left tip reaches the place where the clutch pedal was on a manual car. This is why he stomps the break pedal with the tip of this left foot.
I know that because I did exactly the same the first time I drove an automatic. 😅
OMG YESSS!!! This happened to me a couple weeks back
My family were coming back from vacation and ask my parents friend to pick us up,they had an automatic car and at the time my dad (while taking the car from the parking lot) got lost and i got a chance to step in and help.well its my first time driving an automatic so i started slowly and started heading to the arrival pickup area,everythings fine and dandy till we hit the highway.
The road conditions where i came from is less than ideal ao theres a lot of bumpy surfaces on it (it also may be due to the fact this road that is connecting the city and the airport is freshly paved so the ground isnt solid yet)
When i got to the first bumpy area its all still fine since i can somewhat feel the brake and the torque disengaging
But when i got the second bumpy area i hit the brakes Waaaay to hard and since nobody was wearing seatbelts,were sent flying to the front.
Nobody was hurt and luckily no one was behind us at the time,but i did got the stereotypical asian shouting from the back of the car.
TL;DR First time driving an automatic,ended up vibe checking the whole car.
No one was injured
lol😂😂😂😂 this guy made my day,he is actually pressing the clutch pedal of which it is not there
I just put my foot on the foot rest thing on the far right and imagine I’m in the highest gear
I just put my foot all way back and close as posible to seat, never happened that.
isn't the foot rest on the far left?
@@konradw360 yeah. I meant that, just didn’t bother editing 😵💫
That's why i always step on the brake before using the clutch
lmao wut
Well that's how it's supposed to be, when slowing down you have to hit the brake then the clutch for a complete stop.
I press both same time
Often I switched to netrual and keep distance and let time slow me down
@@JordanPeterson. What if you need to accelerate suddenly tho
The music made it so much better xD
Happened to me driving an Automatic for the first time... It's so incredible dangerous...
Manuals are more dangerous?
manual is 20× harder than auto🤣driving auto is like earing peunut...
Why? Do you use brakes with your left leg in a manual?
I drive both and never had this problem probably because I use left only for clutch and in an automatic I use only right for both accelerator and brake
@@ebynmatthews Nah what the video is saying is he hit the brake instead of the clutch with his left foot cause the brakes on an auto are wider
@@H8nji yeah I get that but still the clutch is always to the extreme left right? Even if the brakes are wider it shouldn't actually be a problem. And here I saw a lot of comments who have said while driving an automatic they use left leg for brakes.
I drove a manual for over 6 years, daily, and then I got an automatic and I kept pressing the invisible clutch everytime I started the car, drove or stopped. It was hard to get used to.
The first time I drove an auto, I almost got caught out because I didn't realise they would start driving uphill when I lift my foot off the brake 😅
I’ve done that couple times lol 😂 feel so dumb afterwards 😂
Lmfao done this when I got in my dad's truck after driving my Challenger everyday for a year. At least I had my seat belt on but my buddy about shit himself lmao
I had to drive an automatic van for my trailer license, instructor treated me like i was a toddler reaching for the cookie jar
I tries auto for the first time today, and this literally happened to me.
as a manual driver, i’ve never done this in my life
I’ve never done this either, but if I’ve been driving my manual cars for a week and switch to my auto the following week, I usually catch myself going to push in the clutch pedal before starting my auto car
Yeah me neither. People who do this "accidently" should really get their license revoked if they are paying THAT less attention i dont wanna know how they are going on the road.
@@skylinesenpai5554 No this happened to me because I'd never driven in an automatic my whole life and I know no one who owns an automatic. No one told me you're not supposed to use your left leg. Automatics just aren't common here.
@@LMvdB02 Here in germany most cars are manuals too and i learnt on a manual of course but even then i learned that in driving school.
My left leg feels numb and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!
I drove my mom's car today and when I put it in park I tried to wiggle the shift knob like I was in neutral 💀
LMFAO I’ve done that too
You don't put it in neutral when you park
@@fluffyunicorn3907 you can
@larsvandenbroek263 you can but it's not recommended
I literally have done this in all automatics.
This is the most accurate thing I've seen in awhile
I gave my friend my automatic car and he did this in the middle of the road..Thank god it was early morning and the traffic was light
Bro that actually happened to me just yesterday ngl
When driving automatic, keep your left leg tied to an anvil
My employer needed me to pick up a important part from a different location like 350 miles away. I got in the company car and started going spiked the ever living shit out of the brakes so hard they called me because tattle tell thought i got into a wreck 😂
I drive an automatic Subaru Legacy 3.0r and I still love it even though I know it’s just a JOKE it just baffles me how the Whole car scene Is laughing at this just bcause its a Automatic it just gets bad rep
Do you have a robot eat your breakfast? Do you have a robot fuck your wife? Yeah sure those might be convenient, but theres something not quite right about it.
@@TonyCrispruby why does automatic get a bad rep been told it’s for people that are old or something like that crazy
@UC2H-_jFgeQAbN4nVAtHortA ok just started my manual driving lessons problem with clutch
1st kilometer : "Imma try this auto thing"
10th kilometer :
Had a loaner yesterday and omg idk how people can't drive auto's LMFAO easiest and weirdest feeling ever after 4yrs and manual
Going from a manual to automatic is like a weight off the shoulders lol it's like removing a burden lol
Reminds me of the time how I drove my friends auto mustang, the car downshifted and I was surprised I had to press in no clutch but remembered it was a auto last sec 💀
Downshifting without clutch must have felt like shit🤣🤣🤣
I almost hit my face on the steering wheel when I drove an automatic 😂😂😂
As a new manual learner i dont think i will ever sit in automatic car seat ever again 😂 manual too fun
How sad lmao
Can relate 🤣💀, hot chick asked me to go and drive her to the casino, using her car back in college. Acted as if nothing happened.
