I've always wondered how the left-foot braking thing ever came into
being. If you drive a manual car you are used to a fairly big movement
with your left foot, and finer, more precise movements with your right
foot to operate the brake or accelerator. Part of learning to drive is
acquiring the different muscle memory in your two feet.

Which bozo thought that it was sensible to operate the brake in an
automatic with your left foot, just because you won't need that foot
for the clutch? It means learning a whole new muscle memory, so as not
to press the brake as hard and as far as you would with the clutch,
only to have to unlearn this if you ever have to drive a manual.

Actually very simple. Why would you only use one foot when there are two
pedals?

Of course if you do have a problem reverting when driving a manual, best
not to. But you're just as likely to stall etc if you can't adapt to
driving both.
