Where is the accelerator pedal located in a car?

[VanGeorge]

In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator pedal is on the right side, while the brake pedal is on the left. There are only two pedals in an automatic car, and both must be controlled exclusively by the right foot. Never use one foot for each pedal. For manual transmission cars, there are three pedals arranged from left to right: the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The left foot controls the clutch pedal, while the right foot manages both the brake and accelerator pedals. A common mistake of confusing the accelerator for the brake often occurs during reversing, as drivers tend to turn their heads to look backward, focusing their attention entirely on the rear, which may cause their right foot to confuse left and right. When not pressing the accelerator, always keep your foot on the brake pedal, regardless of whether you're reversing or not. This way, when reversing, your right foot is already on the brake pedal, and to move the car backward, you must lift your foot from the brake to press the accelerator, thus avoiding the mistake of pressing the accelerator instead of the brake.
