What Does Incorrect Use of Brake and Accelerator Pedals Mean?
2 Answers
Incorrect use of brake and accelerator pedals refers to not stepping on the brake when deceleration is required or mistakenly stepping on the accelerator, or not stepping on the accelerator when acceleration is needed or mistakenly stepping on the brake. Incorrect use of brake and accelerator pedals results in an immediate deduction of 100 points, leading to a direct failure. Additional information is as follows: 1. Starting in Subject 3: Upon hearing the voice prompt 'Please start,' depress the clutch, shift into first gear, turn on the left turn signal (for more than 3 seconds), simultaneously (turn head left) observe the left rearview mirror, confirm safety, sound the horn, release the parking brake, start smoothly, and straighten the turn signal. 2. Examination Conditions: According to Article 44 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' each subject is examined once. If the examination is failed, a retake is allowed once. If the retake is not attended or still results in failure, the examination is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the examination. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 examinations must be scheduled at least ten days later. If the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skill test scores remain valid.
Incorrect use of the brake and accelerator pedals refers to a driver's improper operation of these pedals while driving, such as stomping on the accelerator when intending to brake, or accidentally hitting the brake when trying to accelerate. This is common among novice drivers or those who are distracted, like when panicking while reversing in a parking lot and stepping on the wrong pedal, causing the car to lurch forward and rear-end another vehicle—extremely dangerous. I've seen too many accidents caused by such small mistakes, ranging from minor scratches on the car's front to severe injuries to innocent bystanders. To prevent this, practice keeping your right foot on the brake pedal during normal driving, only lightly tapping the accelerator when needed, and avoid using both feet simultaneously. Stay focused—don't look at your phone or chat, especially on slippery roads during rainy or foggy weather when mistakes are more likely. Some cars come with automatic anti-misstep systems, but fundamentally, it's about improving driving habits—safety first.
