Is the Brake on the Left Side of a Car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake pedal, and the right pedal is the accelerator pedal; whereas in a manual transmission car, the middle pedal is the brake pedal, the right pedal is the accelerator pedal, and the left pedal is the clutch pedal. Below are some techniques for braking: Braking while following a car: When following another vehicle, ensure a safe distance from the car ahead. Gently press the brake pedal to maintain braking force, then adjust the pressure based on the speed of the vehicle in front. Braking to avoid a collision: When there is sufficient braking distance, slowly and steadily press the brake pedal to decelerate evenly. As the car approaches a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete halt. Braking on a curve: When approaching a curve, brake before entering to slow down, then enter the curve slowly and accelerate out of it. While braking on a curve, steer the wheel and adjust the car's posture according to the curve's arc.
