I thought I'd try using two feet when I went out this aft, it felt really uncomfortable and just wrong. When I used my left foot for the clutch, it was always on the left hand side of the footwell. But with the brake pedal being more towards the middle, I felt the need to turn towards the drivers side window.  ;D

Ride a British motorbike after you've mostly ridden a Japanese bike .... that's fun as the gear lever & brake pedal are on opposite sides & the gears are arse about face from each other. But you soon learn the difference.  ;) ;)

Why make something so easy as driving an automatic vehicle so  complicated ? Words fail me ..

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

Obviously shows that we are all different
well , 2 ways of driving an automatic anyway  ;D
I guess whatever you're comfortable with is the correct way (for you)  :)

I know you're a bit of a newbie compared to some of us, so let me explain the ways of OOF. If a disagreement starts on a thread, all parties dig their heels in and refuse to budge, not even the tiniest, weeniest bit. The internet is searched rabidly to find any small snippet of information to back up your theory. If that doesn't work, you make stuff up, and look back at previous posts to see if there's anything you can use to ridicule your adversaries.
If you manage to win the argument, great, but it's better if you can humiliate them too.
If no resolution is found at the end, then grudges are held and you jump down each others throat at every opportunity.
Got it?

I actually have a mate who had his right leg amputated after treading on a landmine drives an automatic Jaguar with the pedals swapped over ! I have driven it & got used to it in a very short space of time just using my left foot.
