Default Is it bad practice to have your foot covering the clutch?

Hi,

I wonder if you could help settle an argument between my wife and I
(at least this one is related to cars!).

She drives with her left foot covering the clutch and says that she
was taught this technique as the correct way to drive and it helps her
if she needs to stop quickly.


Someone has once told her "If in doubt, both feet out....", and it
stuck. At least if so, the right foot wouldn't be long behind to stamp
on the brake pedal.

Try that in an Automatic forgetting the missing clutch pedal, ye
forehead tends to hurt after it's hit the steering wheel...
