Default Pedal Spacing & Proper Shoes

Like to comment on wearing proper shoes. Been driving for over 47 years w/o an accident. Wearing sandels one time created a scary experience. Coming up at a normal speed to cars stopped at a stop light. Went to apply the brake and my sandel hit the gas and brake at the same time. Realized in a split second, even if I found the brake there was no way I was going to stop. Luckly, I was able to direct the car over a 10" concrete curb. Resulting with damage to a front wheel and my stupidity. My advise, always wear proper driving shoes on these cars regardless of pedal spacing.
