And modern cars are much better at handling these types of scenarios. For example, in my late model car, if you apply the accelerator and brake at the same time, the vehicle will ignore the accelerator input. This solves two potential problems from the past: someone accidentally stomping on both pedals when they meant to hit the brake, and a foreign object wedging the accelerator pedal down.

> someone accidentally stomping on both pedals when they meant to hit the brake

This happens to me (sometimes) in parking lots where pedestrians walk between cars. Mine (2019 Mazda Miata) does not do this, instead I get an engine rev while standing half on brakes, half on accelerator, full on clutch. I end up feeling embarrassed as I tend to get glared at by the pedestrian (no, I did not intentionally rev it to scare you).

I'm glad that's not the behavior on a manual Miata, that would totally kill the prospects of heel-toe downshifting. ;)

Wait what? You drive a manual and use the left foot to hit the brakes? Recipe for disaster.

Nah, their left is full on clutch, their right foot is between the accelerator and brake pressing both at the same time.

[Tangurena2]

Correct. Left foot on the clutch as I was (in every one of these situations) backing out slowly. Then I see the pedestrian, lift foot off the gas and jam it on the brake. I guess, in my panic, I don't move the right foot far enough to the left (to get it fully off the gas pedal).

This is part of why I hate nose-in parking.

Yeah; my VW Golf does that. Makes it hard to warm up the brakes in icy/condensing weather.
