"I still can't believe they let you use brakes in Europe. Why when I took my test we had to use our FEET to stop the car - we didn't have no fancy "brakes". Parallel parking involved getting out and pushing the car sideways into the spot (I failed this the first couple of times when I rolled the car instead of sliding it).
It's funny, I've managed to not go backwards on inclines for 25 years without the use of a handbrake or without riding the clutch. Of course, maybe it's different in Europe."
Forget geography. From what little I know of physics, I fail to discern the force that would match the gravity's downward pull during the (very brief) time it takes your right foot to move from the brake to the gas pedal. I'm assuming you only have two feet and you're not using either of them to stop your car -- like they taught you during the Driver's Test.
