Which part of the foot should be used to press the accelerator when driving?
1 Answers
When driving, use the ball of your foot to press the accelerator. The operation of the accelerator pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the ball of the foot gently resting on the accelerator pedal. The ankle joint's extension and flexion movements are used to press down or release the pedal. When operating the accelerator pedal, apply force gently, ensuring a smooth press and gradual release. Driving taboos: Do not wear inappropriate footwear such as slippers while driving, especially for female drivers. Wearing high heels or platform shoes while driving is extremely dangerous. Tiptoeing on the pedals makes it impossible to control the pressure accurately, and in case of an emergency, the consequences could be dire. Right foot placement method: Experienced drivers with high safety awareness keep their right foot hovering above the brake pedal when not accelerating, as a "precautionary measure." In case of any situation, the right foot does not need to make a judgment and can press the brake pedal at the fastest speed possible in the first instance.
