People that drive Automatics using their left foot to brake are easy to spot. They'll be riding the brake and they contribute to many rear end collisions because the brake lights are always lit because their left foot is resting on the Brake pedal. Theyll also be the drivers that go thru pads and rotors like no tomorrow. Of course, this doesnt apply to all left foot brakers. Many left breakers will hit both the throttle and brake when executing a panic stop.
It's a sorry way to drive. Right foot for throttle and brake no matter what transmission. Nothing to get "used to" when switching from one tranny to the other.
