No matter what type of vehicle you are driving, it is important to understand the difference between the brake and the gas pedal. On the right is the gas pedal and on the left is the brake. It is common for people to confuse the two, especially in manual transmission vehicles. However, in automatic transmission vehicles, there is no clutch and only the brake and gas pedal are controlled by the right foot. As long as only one foot is used, the chances of confusion are reduced.
When driving, it is important to have your foot in the correct position. The heel should be placed directly below the brake pedal so that in case of an emergency, you can quickly brake.
Many new drivers struggle with the proper use of the brake. In order to smoothly brake, it is important to slowly and continuously press the brake pedal and gradually减速 until the vehicle comes to a stop. Once the vehicle is stopped, slowly lift the brake pedal until it is completely released.
When following a car, the main purpose of braking is to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The key to this is to apply a gentle and even pressure on the brake pedal. If the vehicle in front of you suddenly stops, you should have your foot on the brake pedal to avoid a sudden brake.
