It isn't a debate. At low speeds, manoeuvring and driving in heavy traffic, left-foot braking an automatic is essential in order to maintain control. At higher speeds it enables skilled drivers to drive more smoothly and to corner faster, but that is far less relevant than the fact that at low speeds it enables you to brake much faster and possibly save some lives.

I did not make the recommendation about steering. But some people are still obsessed by the old Met police steering wheel shuffle developed for maintaining control of 1936 Wolseleys, which is no longer relevant. Sometimes at low speeds I drive two-handed like a police driver. Often when driving quickly I drive one-handed or with hands at the top of the wheel. It depends on the circumstances and whether it's an auto or a manual. Sometimes the gear lever gives more control than the steering wheel and you need one hand for each.
