Description of the problem	I was attempting to pull my subaru outback into my garage and was heading toward the garage door opening when i thought i had put my right foot on the foot brake to stop the car, however, it continued to proceed forward because my foot was under the brake pedal. Consequently, i hit the corner of the garage with minor damage to my front bumper. Upon further checking the brake and gas pedals , i confirmed the brake pedal was significantly higher than the gas pedal and my foot could fit under the brake pedal after moving it sideways from the gas pedal. In addition, on two other occasions, i had moved my right foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal and when pressing down on the brake pedal my right foot was also pressing on the gas pedal and the car continued forward (at low speed) until i placed the gear shift in park. I've owned this car for one year and i thought i was competent in it's driving techniques requirements, but now i'm beginning to wonder. I have a wide foot, is there a minimum required sideways spacing or similar pedal heights between gas and brake pedals which prevents these occurrences? I never experienced these incidents in my previous car ( 2004 buick lesabre) or other cars i have owned.
