I drive with only my big toe.
I don't wear shoes but socks while playing and I always find myself using the pedals with only my big toe :happyz: Don't know why I wanted to share this, just thought it was interesting. Anyone else do this?

Well... that's the kind of topic we don't see everyday. 🤣 At least it's a breath of fresh air among all topics about crashing using mods, requesting survivor features or complaining about traffic.

Have a well-deserved award!

When I get tire I pull my shoes off and sometimes drive with my big toe also. Never really thought about it until now....

Controller player here, not enough space for a wheel...

...but I try to drive with nothing at all, if possible. At least, nothing in the speed regulation department. I get going by holding the accelerator, but then I have cruise control steps and retarder activation bound to my pad, and once I'm above 20mph I try to regulate my speed using only those and not touch the accelerator or brake at all.

Obviously it's not always possible, and particularly hard with stop-start city driving, but it's pretty nice when you can reduce your speed for a bend, slow to a crawl for a junction, then get back up to speed on a highway again all just by pressing two or three buttons. :PhogsHappy:

I might believe that god gifted us the BIG toe for that exact reason!
I have no thinkable other explanatory for the BIG one who seem to only be in the way most of the time, but ofcourse there might be and Im very broad minded.
👍🤠🙏

You might be right about this.

You're ready for the next level, heel and toe!

I pretty much use my big toe for the most part for in-the-house driving. In real life I use the whole boot. I drive manual with steel toed work boots. No room for error. Once got my boot stuck behind and between the gas/brake. Slipped off the brake waiting for the light.

In ATS, most of my foot is on the base, with only the toes able to touch the pedals. 100% use the big toe for most of the pushing. lmao :doublenickels:
