Ideomotor movement of the left foot and leg. Involuntary and unconscious stomping the left side of the drivers side floor when attempting to disengage a nonexistent clutch to stop a vehicle with automatic transmission just before applying the brakes. Drivers that operated manual transmissions in the past will describe the illusionary experience as phantom foot clutch.
On the roadway in front of Walmart they got that there center two-way left turn lane out front. Some idiot pull a bonehead move , turned right out of that lane in front of me. My phantom clutch foot kicked in. I hit the brakes, my left foot stomped the floor board looking for the clutch that ain't there. My right hand went for the stick shift that ain't there. Ended up grabbing Bob's pecker, tried to downshift to second. Now he wont stop following me around. Keeps making engine revving sounds grinning at me.
