Can you obtain a PPL without knowing how to use rudder pedals?

I'd say yes but it's really bad idea for getting additional type
ratings efficiently. Can you imagine trying to land a tail dragger
without any experience of using a rudder? Lord knows I'm finding it
difficult enough and I have some part of my brain trained to use the
rudder already...
