Do You Need to Keep Your Foot on the Accelerator While Driving?
1 Answers
Whether you need to press the accelerator while driving depends on the road conditions: 1. During driving, if there is no need to slow down or stop, your right foot should remain on the accelerator pedal (vehicles with cruise control do not require continuous pressing of the accelerator pedal once cruise control is activated). 2. During driving, if you need to slow down or stop, your right foot should be moved away from the accelerator pedal and, if necessary, press the brake pedal. If you are preparing to stop, your right foot should be moved away from the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal. After coming to a complete stop, if you do not intend to turn off the engine, there is no need to press the accelerator pedal, as the engine will automatically idle.
