First rule taught to all in the motor trade, ALWAYS depress the
clutch (or put the left foot on the brake if the vehicle is an
automatic) BEFORE operating the starter, a sloppy / mal-adjusted
gear leaver can give the 'appearance' of being in neutral (or park)
but not actually being so.
Why use the left foot when normal auto behaviour is to use right
foot for both brake and accelerator? (I am aware of variations on
this in the real world.)


Because one might need to use the other foot to operate the
throttle?.... Duh! :~)

Never had to do that. And in current car, cannot start the engine
without foot being on brake. I use my right foot as clearly intended by
the manufacturer.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
