The brake and gas pedals on automatic transmission Subaru Legacy models are so close together that a man of average shoe size, wearing boots of any kind, is liable to inadvertently apply pressure to both pedals at the same time. The "fix" is simple: Subaru of America should hang the manual transmission brake pedal, with its smaller pad footprint, on all automatic transmission Legacy models. Problem solved. While driving my vehicle, and if wearing boots, I must maintain constant vigilance to avoid the potentially lethal consequence of applying pressure to both pedals at the same time.
