This is
so not true. Cars with standard coast too, often with the foot touching the brake pedal in anticipation.
This is especially apparent when you approach a hilltop, and you see brake lights coming on. This is likely the #1 cause of traffic jams, as the cars going uphill can't see why the brake lights came on, and do real braking as a result. Which transplants backwards until you have a buildup.
The only difference is that a two-foot driver
can touch his brakes while giving gas -- if doing that while driving, you'll wear out the brakes. So two-foot drivers don't generally do that, except when it serves a purpose.
I'm sorry, but this is one of the things that "everybody knows" that just ain't so, just like the 10-2 rule or always turning the brights off when you see another car, or parking with the wipers pointing up when expecting frost.
