Is the left side the brake or the accelerator?

[Nelson]

In automatic transmission models, the left side is the brake. Automatic transmission vehicles have only two pedals, located below the driver's seat and the console, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled by the right foot. Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission vehicle, the left side is always the brake and the right side is the accelerator. This design is primarily because the accelerator is used more frequently and is positioned on the outer side of the right foot, which is a more comfortable posture for the body. The brake is set on the inner side of the right foot, and the brake pedal is slightly higher than the accelerator pedal. This design facilitates the driver's quick reaction. The correct operating method is to pivot the right heel and use the sole of the foot to press the pedals. Drivers should develop the habit of placing the heel directly below the brake pedal so that they can brake immediately in case of an emergency.
