You are right, my husband gave me exactly the same advice – apparently it prevents you from pressing the brake and accelerator at the same time, which I have to admit I did a few time before sorted my feet out!

I was surprised that after driving almost 170 miles that I was still trying to change in to 2nd gear when I pulled away from a junction. Interestingly, I didn’t have any problems when I went back to my manual car the next day.

The experience has probably done a lot to help keep my brain young!

The other just stays put the whole time.

Nothing like relearning how to do an old thing a new way to keep things in perspective, eh?

Have a great day!
