Which foot should press the brake in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In automatic transmission models, the right foot is used to press the brake. More details are as follows: 1. Automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal, eliminating the hassle of coordinating the clutch and accelerator, making them the favorite of the new era. Some people prefer to drive automatic cars with both feet, using the left foot for the brake and the right foot for the accelerator, unaware that this goes against the designer's original intention; 2. The brake and accelerator in automatic cars are positioned more towards the right side, making it awkward for drivers to operate the brake with their left foot; 3. When performing complex actions, the brain's reaction time slows down. Using both feet to control the brake and accelerator can easily lead to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake, resulting in numerous traffic accidents with severe consequences; 4. Normally, the left foot is not used in automatic cars, and designers have allocated space for the left foot to rest. There is only one situation where both feet might be needed simultaneously: starting on a steep slope to prevent the car from rolling backward, where the left foot can press the brake while the right foot presses the accelerator to assist in uphill movement. In all other cases, only the right foot is used for operation.
