What Does the Left and Right Foot Press When Driving?
1 Answers
When driving a vehicle, the left foot should press the clutch pedal, and the right foot should press the accelerator pedal or brake pedal. If it is an automatic transmission car, the left foot is not needed for driving. Some race car drivers use their left foot to control the brake and their right foot to control the accelerator. It is recommended that ordinary people do not attempt such operations as they carry certain risks. Clutch: The clutch pedal is the control device for the clutch assembly of a manual transmission car and serves as the interactive part between the car and the driver. In driving lessons or normal driving, it is one of the "five major controls" of car driving, with very high frequency of use. For convenience, people directly refer to it as the "clutch." Whether it is operated correctly directly affects the car's starting, gear shifting, and reversing. Brake: The brake, also known as the braking system, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of a running 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 corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. The brake device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the speed, also known as a decelerator. Accelerator Pedal: The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal press, it controls the opening of the engine throttle, the intake air volume, and the computer-controlled fuel amount, thereby controlling the engine's speed.
