Which foot presses the accelerator in a right-hand drive car?
1 Answers
In a right-hand drive car, the right foot presses the accelerator. The accelerator and brake are located below the driver's seat, both operated by the right foot. The brake is positioned slightly to the left, while the accelerator is on the far right, with the clutch on the left side. 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, controlling the air intake. The computer then adjusts the fuel injection, thereby controlling the engine's speed. Methods to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Stay focused while driving, look further ahead—generally observing up to 150 meters in front. Check the movement of vehicles ahead and whether there are intersections or schools nearby. Slow down in advance and try to avoid sudden braking.
