"Tony has a lead foot. It's a wonder how he's still alive, let alone legally allowed to drive. If you ever have to travel anywhere in a hurry, he's your man. Otherwise, make sure you're never in a vehicle where he's behind the wheel."

Leadfoot Clothesline 

Leadfoot Clothesline occurs when the driver of a vehicle has to break suddenly at a high to moderate speed. Concerned for the safety of the passenger riding shotgun the driver thinks that in the event the seatbelt fails, or you are not wearing one. They believe they will be able to prevent you from hitting your face off the dashboard or being ejected from the car entirely nulling the laws of motion and momentum, using only but one fully extended right arm. This will always result in a back hand to the chest, neck or face and an immediate apology.
"I guess you didn't see that car pull out, thanks for trying to save me with the leadfoot clothesline but now my chest hurts."

A curious medical condition of the right pedal extremity that afflicts millions of drivers worldwide. While the disease is much more prevalent among males, females have also been known to contract it.

Symptoms include tailgating, jackrabbit starts, burnouts, clutch dumps with advanced cases often leading to modding, nos usage, turbocharging and an addiction to motor sports or even street racing.

There is no known cure for this disease, but common treatments include speeding tickets, license suspension, and (in extreme cases) the purchase of a Toyota Prius.

Related diseases include leadwrist (motorcyclists), pistonheaditus (the uncontrollable desire to make a vehicle go faster, often using methods not approved by the manufacturers, law enforcement, or polite society), and needlepoint.

Many famous people suffer from this disease, including Paul Newman, Nicolas Cage, Jay Leno, and Jeremy Clarkson.

Note: This affliction is not related to the 70's rock band Led Zeppelin, but there is a known increase in leadfoot severity while listening to "The Immigrant Song".
