Why is the brake pedal higher than the accelerator?

[DeIsabela]

Because the brake pedal requires a longer travel distance, it is designed to be higher to facilitate full depression of the brake pedal without changing the driver's seating posture. In contrast, the accelerator pedal is positioned lower. Here is a mnemonic for distinguishing between the brake and accelerator: 1. Left brake, right accelerator: Drivers should always remember that the left pedal is the brake and the right is the accelerator, forming a natural and firm concept. Over time, this will prevent mistakes. 2. Heel under the brake: Drivers should develop the habit of placing their heel directly below the brake pedal, allowing them to brake immediately in emergency situations.
