i still cannot see though how though you can "move across the brake" and make it engage tbh) i have just tried it myself on the drive (manual) and found it utterly perplexing...unless you changing gear in a manual using your left foot lol...

Safety for what? I never hit the wrong pedal in the golf so why change it?

I haven't hit the brake by accident for a while, so might be getting used to it *shrug*.

Good to hear it. How do you do it or is it a garage job?

Cheers.

It's your 3" high heels that cause the problems isn't it?

I would say it was to stop heel and toe on road cars
