I'm considering an IAM test. My car is an automatic with a DSG box. I also brake with my left foot.

Is it acceptable to take the IAM Advanced Driver course with left foot braking? How is left foot braking perceived by instructors?

Thanks for your advice. I'll contact IAM directly.

From DVLA driving test site :

Footbrake and accelerator
The use of the right foot for both brake and accelerator pedals has considerable safety advantages. It is therefore recommended practice for normal driving, but is not necessarily applicable to disabled drivers. The use of the left foot on the brake pedal should not however be marked as a fault unless it involves the use of the footbrake against the accelerator.

So maybe fine for IAM test too
Thanks for this advice.

Thanks to all of you for your help.
