Where are the brake and accelerator located?

The brake and accelerator are located below the steering wheel in the driver's seat, with the accelerator on the right and the brake in the middle. Here is additional information: Accelerator: Also known as the throttle pedal, it is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal pressure, it regulates the opening of the engine throttle, thereby controlling the air intake. Combined with the computer-controlled fuel injection, it manages the engine's speed. Brake: Referred to as the braking system, it is the mechanism used to stop or reduce the speed of moving vehicles, locomotives, or other transportation tools. A wheel or disc is fixed on the vehicle's high-speed axle, and corresponding brake pads, bands, or discs are installed on the chassis. When external force is applied, it generates braking torque.
Driving is one of my favorite daily activities, and I've long been familiar with the positions of the brake and accelerator. From the driver's seat, the pedal area operated by the right foot is crucial: the accelerator is on the far right, typically a smaller pedal that makes the car accelerate when pressed, feeling very responsive; the brake is just to its left, adjacent but slightly higher, with a larger pedal that slows or stops the car when pressed. This design is super logical, preventing accidental simultaneous pressing of both pedals, especially in urban traffic jams, allowing me to quickly switch foot positions. Beginners might find it easy to confuse them, so I recommend practicing the motion of sliding from the accelerator to the brake during driving lessons to reduce the risk of misoperation. Another tip: check if the floor mat is flat to avoid it getting stuck and affecting safe driving. Also, remember to wear non-slip shoes on slippery roads to enhance control.
