Ok, let me rephrase. We're talking about driving on the street. I understand heel/toe and left foot braking to set the car for cornering. I also do it on the track.

But if a driver is constantly hovering their left foot over the brake for "just in case", then I say increase the following distance and relax a bit.

That's probably the biggest takeaway from driving the Smith System. Everything slowed down and my time behind the wheel is much more peaceful.

A commute to/from work should not be about wringing every second of potential drive time.

And yes, our track time makes us better on the street and better among other drivers.

Don't forget my very first post...
