Should the foot always rest on the brake during Subject 2 of the driving test?

During Subject 2 of the driving test, the foot can always rest on the brake, ready to press it at any time. Here is some relevant information about car brakes: 1. Definition: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of a moving locomotive, vehicle, or other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install a corresponding brake shoe, belt, or disc on the machine base, which generates a braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle. 2. Classification: Braking can be divided into emergency braking and daily braking. During emergency braking, be aware of the potential hazard of rear-end collisions from following vehicles.
I remember when I was taking the Subject 2 test, my instructor repeatedly emphasized not to keep my foot on the brake pedal all the time, as it could lead to slower reaction times and even mistakenly pressing the wrong pedal in certain maneuvers. Subject 2 involves field driving, such as reverse parking and parallel parking, which require low-speed operations. The correct approach is to keep the foot hovering in the middle position and switch between the accelerator and brake as needed. If the foot is fixed solely on the brake, it can easily cause stalling on hill starts or instability during turns. I recommend that beginners practice more foot coordination, which will make them more flexible during the test and also reduce fuel consumption. Never overlook this small habit, as it directly affects test scores and safety. Develop a dynamic adjustment posture during regular practice sessions.
