It was proven over 45 years ago that braking with you left foot is far quicker than doing so with your right, moving it from the gas pedal to the brake. I strongly disagree with their comment that fatter tires hydroplane easier than skinny tires. Think about the foot print make by skinny tires, maybe 2" on the road surface at speed when you hit an area of water that immediately goes to zero where a wide tire will stay planted much longer especially with the tread pattern of todays high end tires. I had a set of Bridgstone turn fours UTOG rated at 140 that I could drive on the freeway at 70 MPH in driving rain and never felt a bobble. Sadly they only lasted 10K miles....Ouch!

Yes, it's true. It doesn't seem like it would until you really think about and understand the principles about why tires hydroplane in the first place.

In many cases they can also increase stopping distance by virtue of being mounted on larger diameter/heavier wheels. More rotation mass = harder to bring to a standstill. FACT.

yeah! But you know no one is going to listen. A text message is more important to them.

+ 1,000,000,000!!! Most 'accidents' or crashes occur because of distractions, not lack of skill or experience. Number one distraction has to be radio, then probably cell phones... But back on Gary's point, I think driving with two feet is a bad idea simply because in an emergency situation you don't want to have to think, move left foot to brake, you just have to react and do otherwise its too late... When I first started driving I used both feet until my father got me out of it, and for good reason!
