I've always heard that this is how a lot of the "wrong pedal" accidents go. Two foot drivers get panicked in an accident and slam on both the gas and the brakes at the same time. I feel like the brake should be able to override the gas though. But I've never tried it and am not about to lol.
I'm actually terrified of doing this in an automatic because I've been driving a manual so long. Nobody is making manuals anymore so I assume my next car will be an automatic and I'm going to need a strap for my left foot so I can't accidentally do this lol.
Last time I drove an automatic I put it in reverse when I got to a stop sign because my hand just went for it and pushed the same amount I would in my car to get to neutral. That was the day that I learned both that the button on automatic shifters means nothing, and that I must sit on my right hand when driving one.
That muscle memory is a hell of a thing
When I've driven an auto rental a few times the most I accidentally do is try to put my left foot through the floor when going for the clutch that doesn't exist. The brake is far enough to the right your engrained habits shouldn't cause you to reach for it with you left.
In many cars, they don’t.
