More of a challenge is not to pedal the clutch ... which would be a wider break pedal on automatics.

The two occasions I drove an automatic, I used a trick my driving teacher told us: I clamped in my left leg between seat and right leg. Uncomfortable, and not good for long travels, but usefull to keep from automatically trying to step on the clutch.
