Can one use 2 feet for the pedals in automatic cars?

Certainly...that is how i have driven for decades. It is called "left foot braking" and it gives quicker reaction time than single foot driving. The reason that no one teaches left foot braking to beginning drivers is because of the fear that - in a panic - a beginning driver will hit the brake and the gas at the same time. In the olden days it was common to drive that way.(with 2 feet) I cant imagine driving with only one foot. Back when I went for my drivers license, if you braked with your left foot you failed the test.
