Will one be failed for driving with both feet in an automatic car on the restricted test?

Hi there,
It's best practice to only use the one foot for braking and accelerating. You can find the recommendations here: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/licence-and-study-guide/driving-skills-syllabus/3-moving-off-and-stopping/
