Which foot steps on the accelerator and which foot steps on the brake in a car?
1 Answers
Regardless of the type of vehicle, both the brake and accelerator are controlled by the same foot, which should be the right foot. This design is based on safety considerations, as it helps improve safety in emergency situations when people tend to panic. Below is additional information: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require manual gear shifting, as the car shifts gears automatically. There is no clutch pedal, only the accelerator and brake, both controlled by the right foot. During driving, the left foot should not be placed on the brake pedal. 2. For manual transmission vehicles, the left foot is used to press the clutch pedal when shifting gears, but it should not remain on the pedal while driving. Both the brake and accelerator are controlled by the right foot.
