Automatic transmission cars have a simpler setup for the accelerator and brake, with only two pedals. From left to right, they are the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled solely by the right foot. Manual transmission cars have three pedals, arranged from left to right as the clutch, the brake, and the accelerator. When driving an automatic transmission car, do not use separate feet to control the brake and accelerator. Instead, use the ball of your right foot to control both the brake and accelerator, with your right heel resting on the floor. When switching between the accelerator and brake, avoid lifting your leg. The standard posture involves keeping your heel stationary and pivoting your foot to press the accelerator or brake. Developing good driving habits involves staying focused and positioning your right foot correctly. When driving, there is a technique to placing your right foot for the accelerator and brake: "Position your foot closer to the brake side, press the brake with the front of your foot, and use the toe to press the accelerator at an angle. This reduces the time needed to press the brake in an emergency and minimizes the risk of accidentally pressing the accelerator in a panic.
