I think I would immediately crash trying to press the floor between the two pedals :)

Did you know? The main reason driver's push the wrong pedal, is because of the mistaken belief, that the accelerator, makes the vehicle move. Thus they place their foot over the accelerator to move, even though they're not even touching it. Proving the accelerator didn't, make the vehicle move but easing up the brakes did. Should a sudden situation occur, the driver will then apply the throttle, actually believing their foot is over the brake pedal, because the vehicle is moving slow. Not uncommon in novice and senior citizen drivers. So the moral is, never cover the throttle. Either you're on the throttle or you're on, or covering the brake. In a standard shift, the clutch pedal makes the vehicle move.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I always drive with this two-pedal system. You can press the brake at the same time as you release the accelerator. In recent years, racing cars have also adopted this method.
