Only if he never mastered heel-and-toe...

Brockie had 'heel-and-toe' mastered when he was a nine-year old. The
first front-wheel drive car he drove FAST, he had 'left foot braking'
mastered in about nine minutes. Hell, when he got out the car he
was probably speaking fluent Finnish, without a trace of an Oz accent.

And then somebody invented the Hill Holder device for cars and trucks.
Left foot braking a front drive vehicle in competition can allow the
driver to hang the rear end out like a rear driver. Generally it is
done with the hand brake - but on a SAAB the hand brake operates on
the front wheels - so jabbing the brake with the left foot while the
right is firmly planted on the "loud pedal" can break the rear wheels
loose, allowing them to slide, shortening the turning radius
significantly.
