Well.
To hold the wheel while shifting seems simpler than to avoid money shift. My money shift (I noticed in time to prevent the "money"
) was due to failing to apply the side effort rather than pulling against pushing (the "tension" did it there) - that's LHD/RHD irrelevant, I believe.

You are sitting in an uncomfortable position (don't squeeze your rick
), your left foot tends to slide off the pedal (you are violating the design - being too smart isn't too smart, after all
) and why does your floor mat not fit properly? You are lucky your gas pedal is floor mounted, it could get stuck behind otherwise.

To make a better driver you should make wise decisions about pedal priority: it's not about speed, it's about situation analysis.
I mind most drivers behind don't match my M-Sport brakes
and when a dog rushed under my car out of darkness/nowhere on a crosswalk it wasn't because I was going fast or had my foot on the gas (or didn't look: of course I did, just couldn't/failed to see it in time) that I hit it, it was just too close.
The conclusion I made was being even more careful as a two legged dog/bitch would cause trouble
, not reconsider my driving technique.
