Driving an automatic with two feet?

Do you advocate driving an automatic car with both feet?

Asked on 24 November 2012 by JL, London S17

Answered by Honest John
If you have two feet and two pedals it seems incredibly illogical to me to operate both pedals with one foot. Driving two footed enables you to react instantly, as is often necessary in tight manoeuvres. It's down to personal preference but requires practice - obviously don't try it first time on a motorway.
