What is the position of the accelerator and brake in a right-hand drive car?
1 Answers
In a right-hand drive car, just like in a left-hand drive car, the pedals from left to right are the clutch, brake, and accelerator. The only difference is that the driver's seat has moved from the left to the right. Additionally, the gear lever remains in the center position but is operated with the left hand, while the turn signal and headlight controls are switched to the right hand. However, the car's powertrain and structure remain largely the same. Function of the brake: Used to decelerate, either to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Function of the accelerator: By controlling the amount of pedal pressure, it regulates the throttle opening of the engine, controls the air intake, and the computer adjusts the fuel injection, thereby controlling the engine's speed. How to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Stay focused while driving, look farther ahead (generally observing up to 150 meters), check the movement of vehicles ahead and whether there are intersections or schools nearby, and slow down in advance to avoid sudden braking whenever possible.
