Middle pedal, middle.... nah doesn't compute, what is this 'MIDDLE pedal that you speak of? |

In the dark ages drivers would have to start their cars with a crank handle, manually advance the ignition timing and (if you can believe it) manually change gears, I know it sounds crazy in this day and age but it's true. |

I've only ever driven manual cars with the exception of one automatic that also had hand controls - I found the hand controls easier to use than the pedals because my left foot kept trying to use the brake as a clutch. I expect I could unlearn this behaviour given time, if I had to, but in the meantime it's actually easier for me to handle the gears and clutch myself. |

I drive both auto and manual almost every day and it becomes second nature to use the correct feet/pedal. Driving auto often needs you to use left foot braking when parking/manouevering. In city/congested traffic, driving an auto allows you to concentrate on the road a little more and reduces effort a lot in stop/start traffic. |
