need to learn how to drive auto.

Yea that whole "never use your left foot" is a load a ... I am always using my left foot ... wait, oh yea, I have a 6MT.

Look at some of the NASCAR in-car foot action. Some of those guys are trailbraking into corners with their left foot. And they have clutch pedals. But they tend to be amongst the more spirited drivers.

For instance

Nascar, Sears Point 2008, Montoya under pressure, pedal cam - YouTube

And that ladies and gentlemen is why guys are better at math. Girls can count to 20, guys can count to 21.

You must be driving like you're scared of the car...

I chirp with VDC on.
With VDC OFF, wheel spin is insane unless I control it with the throttle.

Just be careful bro. Don't want to hear you drove yourself in a ditch or hurt someone. Try this in a closed environment.

If one is no more coordinated than that, maybe one shouldn't be driving at all.

I drive an automatic with 2 feet also. The reaction time argument is nothing short of BS. I react quicker with 2 feet than with one foot. If a person isn't coordinated enough to realize that the left pedal is to brake and the right is to accelerate, then why are they driving? I also hate having to pivot my foot if I'm only driving with one foot as opposed to using both feet. As I'm driving I notice that driving with 2 feet is second nature to me, and I can't drive with one due to the hesitation to switch from pedal to pedal.
