Amici...

As previously stated, I use a narrow anti-skid strip on both my brake and 
accelerator pedals.  I like that, but in fact it may be just what I'm used to.

A side note...long term there's a price to pay.  There's a small area on the 
sole of my right driver shoe wearing faster than the balance.  Soon to be a 
hole.  Got to be from the abrasive strips.

But these are VERY old driver's shoes that should have been replaced long ago 
(I've a brand new pair on the shelf).  BUT...you know how guys get attached 
to stuff.  Old driver's shoes, a smelly helmet, undershorts, etc.
