[Mgs] Brake failure - What caused it?

[Paul Hunt]

You can do either.  The normal recommendation for people moving from a 
manual to an automatic is to tuck the left foot back so you are not tempted 
to use it, because if you apply the brake with that foot with the pressure 
you usually use for the clutch you will stand the car on its nose.  Once you 
get used to left-foot braking i.e. driving autos all the time, then there 
can be benefits in some circumstances (although not having had an auto for 
many years I can't remember what they are ...)
