I have just insured my 21-year-old daughter to drive my automatic Volvo XC70. She is a calm, competent and safe driver and I have no misgivings about her driving the car. She has her own car, a manual Corsa, which will still be her regular transport, and she will drive the Volvo only occasionally, sharing the wheel on long journeys etc. This will be the first, though presumably not the last, automatic she will drive, and obviously she will continue to drive manuals as well. I am old enough to have been taught to drive automatics without using my left foot, but I know that there is a school of thought that advocates using left foot for brakes and right for throttle. Should she begin using left foot braking? My head still tells me that your left foot is for the clutch pedal only. What to do?
