Is driving with two feet illegal?
Is it against the law to drive with two feet? My son wants to learn how to drive with two feet because he has a physical disability that makes it hard for him to pivot his foot. But I’m worried that he’ll get into trouble for driving like that on his test.

Actually, this is a common misconception! Driving with two feet is not illegal—it’s just not something that you see often.
For most people, driving with two feet makes it more difficult. However, if driving with two feet makes things easier for your son, he should do it.
One of the main reasons that many people drive with one foot is that the other foot used to be reserved for the clutch pedal in
manual cars
. When automatic cars became more popular, the habit of using one foot for the gas and brake pedals just stuck.When you have a young driver in the family, you’ll need a good insurance policy in place. To make sure you’re getting the coverage you need at a price you can afford, check out the
