In an automatic transmission car, the brake is on the left and the accelerator is on the far right, both controlled by the right foot. When a person presses the brake or accelerator, the body needs support to maintain balance. When the right foot is on the pedal, the left foot can stabilize the body on the floor. If both feet are placed on the brake and accelerator separately, both feet will be in a semi-suspended state, lacking a stable point of support, which can easily lead to unstable pressing of the accelerator or brake. Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch in manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the throttle is applied and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

Why does the vehicle violation show 0 points and 0 yuan penalty?

Violation showing a penalty of 0 yuan and 0 points indicates a minor traffic offense. You need to visit the traffic police department to receive education, after which the violation can be canceled. Below is relevant information about vehicle violations: 1. Introduction: Vehicle violations refer to motor vehicles violating the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute crimes. 2. Consequences of unprocessed violations: If you fail to promptly check and learn about violations exceeding 12 points within a scoring cycle, you might commit the same violation multiple times. However, a scoring cycle (one year) is 12 points, and exceeding this limit means that even after paying fines and late fees, the points will not be automatically cleared. You must also attend a seven-day education program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred.
