How can novice drivers avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake?

[McLilah]

Methods for novice drivers to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: 1. Never place the right foot on the floor; always keep it either on the brake or the accelerator to prevent stepping on the wrong pedal while driving; 2. Accelerate cautiously, as sudden acceleration caused by stepping on the wrong pedal can easily lead to accidents, so it's important to accelerate carefully when moving forward; 3. Prepare to slow down in advance when approaching intersections—early deceleration eliminates the need for sudden braking; 4. Many drivers confuse directions (front, back, left, right) when reversing, which increases the likelihood of mistaking the accelerator for the brake. It is recommended to keep the foot on the brake when reversing, always ready to stop, and reverse slowly at idle speed without pressing the accelerator.
