	Left-foot braking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is closely related to the handbrake turn, but involves locking the rear wheels using the foot brake, which is set up to apply a significant pressure bias to the rear brakes.
		The left foot is thus brought into play to operate the brake.
		Another left-foot braking technique is also used in vehicles, such as Formula One cars, where the clutch is not operated via a foot pedal or where there is no clutch, leaving the left foot free to operate the brake pedal.

	washingtonpost.com : 'My Left Foot' : (R)
		AT THE beginning of "My Left Foot," a man's foot pulls a record from its sleeve, lowers it tremulously onto a turntable and, after the foot's owner catches his breath, starts the music.
		But it also wheels that thematic grimness towards an increasing sense of glory, as Christy's free-moving foot shows his mother, his crowded Catholic family and the world that its owner is an artist with a normal desire for love -- the non-pitying, committed and physical kind.
		The youthful determination in O'Conor's contorted face as he variously crouches under the family stairs, kicks the front door screaming for help and painfully scratches a significant word on the parlor floor (a piece of chalk wedged between his toes), is stirring and heart-stopping.
