My very worst habit is driving an automatic and instinctually pushing the clutch to the floor, only to find an extended brake pedal instead. When I drive my gals car

My very worst habit is driving an automatic and instinctually pushing the clutch to the floor, only to find an extended brake pedal instead.

When I drive my gals car I must plant my left foot flat on the floor to avoid this.

Every. Single. Time. lol I hate that.

Another habit I have when driving my chicks car is forgetting that my vehicle takes up the whole lane. I'm so used to being able to ride on either the left or right side of the lane on my bike, that I forget I can't do that in a car.

I did this a few years ago really bad. I hit the brake so hard the ABS kicked in. Scared the sh!t out of the guy behind me.
