Right

Right.  Don't know anyone who uses left.  I learned to drive on a stick and drove it off/on for the first ten years.  Never considered braking with the left foot.

Right. I have two friends that use the left.

We learned in Drivers' Ed your left foot is for the clutch.  Your right foot operates both the gas pedal and brake.

Braking with your left foot is illegal.

I had absolutely no idea that anyone used their left foot to break. I've always used my right - learned to drive on a manual transmission, then years later switched to automatic.  Always used the same foot to brake.

Right foot.

My husband breaks with the left foot.  He learned to drive a stick shift.  I guess it's just habit.

Actually driving a stick shift you would be using your left foot on the clutch - and that keeps that left foot busy. You should brake with your right foot - thus you can't possibly be depressing both the brake and the gas at the same time.
