    I find this terrifying. I drove a manual for 20 years and often switched to an automatic and never did it, and can’t imagine how it would even happen. The pedals aren’t that close.

      I’m not understanding either. When I drove manual, I used the left foot exclusively for the clutch, and in an automatic, I don’t use the left foot at all.

        Basically, monkey brain expects the left foot to meet with a pedal and will absolutely settle for the brake pedal if not reasoned with. I’ve done it a few times myself.
