Clearly God intended cars to have the proper number of two pedals hence only giving us two feet.Some joker then tried to confuse things by fitting a totally unnecessary third pedal

do you use both feet to drive an auto Mr Baza   
when I drive an auto......
 I use my right foot to accelerate and brake 
I use my left foot to kick the transmission tunnel (to remind the Devil in the auto box to change gear for me)

I must admit Dave that I quite often do drive my autos "double footed".Do have to remind myself sometimes in my V70 that using the wobbly stick in the middle of the car stops the engine screaming its nuts off and someone stuck a third pedal in it

Your trouble is you've got one too many pedals in your cars

that only applies to large cars. Smallish FWD autos are ghastly things, and are intended for the decrepit.


There are two pedals in auto, and you have two feet. As you should never be using the brake and throttle simultaneously, one pedal per foot is the sensible way to drive them

if you swap between auto and manual cars ,as I often do ,I find using the right foot for GO and STOP works for me .
dip the clutch in an auto with your left foot results in a face full of windscreen
because that 'clutch pedal' is in fact the brake

I've always driven autos with a foot per pedal and never had a problem. Only thing I notice is that my right foot isn't quite as sensitive as the left for braking

I also use one pedal per foot in an auto. Works for mew, although swmbo thinks its "dangerous and the wrong way to drive".

Don't worry, in the real world you're probably in the majority .. 

[STEMO]

I drive the proper way too, Dave.
