Can't say i've ever had a problem, drive both manuals and auto's.

I've always driven auto's with right foot for the accelerator and left for the brake.

Surely not........

Two feet ... two pedals! It works for me too! Just don't press 'em both at the same time.

Found this whilst surfing today and recommended by several insurance companies you can now obtain a universal ankle restraint for automatic drivers. They are also considering increasing premiums for automatic drivers that dont have them fitted, seemingly thee has been a lot of incidents with automatic drivers not knowing which foot to use, Thankfully for me I have a manual  

Found what - I can't find a link?

... which is unfortunately where I messed up ... not a problem using one foot on each pedal under normal circumstances, but under emergency braking it would appear that old habits learnt in a manual die hard, with a 3.0 V6 under the right foot and brakes under the left (weaker leg) this does not bring the desired results !!

lets just say I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to be looking for an estate earlier than expected ... well, that and miggy's make good battering rams

Left legs are usually stronger due to clutches
