Is the throttle on the left and the brake on the right in a car?

In a car, the throttle is not on the left and the brake on the right. It is the left brake and right throttle. It is crucial to note that having the brake on the left can be very dangerous. In manual transmission cars, besides the brake and throttle, there is also a clutch pedal. From left to right, the order is clutch, brake, and throttle. In automatic transmission models, there is no clutch pedal, making operation more convenient, with the order from left to right being brake and throttle. The throttle and brake pedals in automatic transmission cars are installed towards the right side. This is because the designer's original intention was for the driver to use only the right foot to control the brake and throttle, which is also the correct way to operate an automatic transmission car. In emergency situations, people may panic, and the brain's ability to process information slows down. If both the left and right feet are used to control the throttle and brake pedals, there is a high risk of mistakenly pressing the throttle instead of the brake or pressing the throttle first and the brake later, which can lead to serious consequences.
