My mother would still screw it up. A bi function pedal, even if both functions are brake related would be far too much to cope with.
My gir;friend from Canada was using my car. She was terribly confused as to why there were 4 pedals. One being a foot rest next to the clutch.
I must confess to being confused by three pedals on an automatic Merc once, the lefthand most ratchet one being the parking brake of course.
It also required reading the owners manual to figure out how to release said brake!
LOL been there, done that...being a hire car, it was probably lucky it still had the owner's manual in it.
Recently did repairs on a merc. Owner had it parked on a boat ramp and it wouldn't start. He asked his son to pull the bonnet to jump start. The Muppet pulled the handbrake release and rolled the car into six feet of water.

Not the easiest of tasks while swapping 360's along the motorway, eh?
Had that on a Citroen, the release was in the dash, a sort of clip that you pulled. As it happened, this was the same control as the one next to it, that released the bonnet.
I had visions of stamping on the "clutch" in an emergency and then popping open the bonnet while frantically trying to sort that mistake out.
Er, yes. Could be fun.... Fortunately it was already applied when I got in.
PMSL. Just what you don't need!
Those brakes are great on an auto. I should imagine they are a PITA for hill-starts on a manual though!
