Yes. Solution, don't step on both pedals at once.
Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

It's probably a Department thing - like using the 'shift key' at the start of each word.

Honestly, I did that a lot when first learning to drive fire equipment in bunker boots. A little bit of practice, and it stopped happening. I have a pair of Haix zip-up structure boots that are much nicer for driving than my rubber boots.

Yes and no
I've had it happen a few times in my old boots (typical rubber) but no problems in the new leather ones.
