Who will ever press the brake pedal with their left foot? That sounds like remixing all the routes of neural impulses for braking/accelerating.
I sometimes do it consciously on a parking lot after a good car wash during winter to slightly warm and dry the brake pads to prevent them from getting frozen, and I have to carefully think my foot-pedalling logic twice--no, three times!--to only apply a slight pressure on the brakes while my right foot keeps pushing the accelerator.
If I did that during driving in the traffic, I'd probably alternate between jumping to a 100% halt and rear-ending somebody with screaming tyres.
