Also considered a nono to cross arms under any driving conditions and also a test failure if you do.

Andy, most of us probably would have issues passing the driving test today.  As said at the time we learnt to pass the test, and learning to drive came through experience.

Everyone will drive thier cars to suit themselves.  However if any one borrowed used my car and used both feet at the same time they would be asked to move over or get out.  I aint paying the bills for getting my auto box stuffed up by them.

Good cause in autos i always tend to drive with one hand for some reason, and parm the wheel for turning. Parming is also much faster than the shuffle shuffle approach.

Half the time I drive my left arm is resting on the passenger seat back rest.

Which would be a fail! if you happened to be resitting your driving test ... which you're not!

When I did my manual coach training, every time I rested my hand on the gearstick, the (ex-army) instructor would whack it with a steel ruler.  OUCH!

Didn't do it for long

No-passed the test

cant see any problem at all with left foot braking. Provided your capable of noticing your binding the engine under power, what possible odds does it make which you prefer?

Its already been mentioned pulling away up a hill with a heavy caravan on the back would do more damage, so probably not much damage from a momentary bind? The Omega is a heavy car after all.

Its no differant than a hill start with the hand brake thinking about it, and you can probably time releasing the foot brake better i would think. Cant remember ever using the hand brake for a hill start in an Omega tbh.
