A while back, someone determined that it was unhealthy for the driver to pull their left leg in against the seat while driving an automatic, so they molded a "pad" into the floorboard roughly opposite of where the right foot sits while driving. That way, the driver can comfortably position both feet equal distances in front of them while driving, which is said to be better for posture, avoiding cramps, etc. Don't believe it? Go check any car. Anyway, that tells me that the idea of using your left foot in an automatic tranny car wasn't the designers intention.
Take care,
