Foot peddles too close?

Anyone experienced this?

I've got a Turbo Tip and a few times in an emergency braking situation my foot catches the accelerator whilst braking hard. The result is that the engine revs just when it shouldn't and braking efficiency is reduced.

I've tried sitting further back but it seems the way the seat is set in relation to the pedals means that the right leg is always at an angle to the left. I know it helps to have the pedals closely aligned for heeling and toeing but thats not much use in with a tip. (I have size 8 shoes, so that not the cause!)
 
:welcome:

I haven't noticed this yet but have only had my car for a month.
 
Never experienced the problem with my size 9's. :bye:
 
I have a manual and size 13's.

Never once hit the wrong pedal 8)
