I encountered a newbie guy today. He drove his car into a trash can the same night he got his driver's license. Even though it shouldn't be, I still find it a bit funny. For novices, the biggest fear is an emergency. When I first got my permit, I suddenly became afraid of animals and electric vehicles passing by at intersections. It was really confusing and I couldn't find the brake or accelerator.
There are also some difficult and bizarre car accident scenes, all caused by stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake. Especially novice drivers are very nervous when they first start driving, and they will be even more at a loss if there is an emergency on the road. Panicking on the brakes often hits the accelerator, causing the car to fly up.
So how to prevent novice drivers from using the accelerator as the brake? The first is the sitting posture. When most students are learning in driving schools, in order to see the points, they put their center of gravity forward and hold the steering wheel tightly against their chests. In order to hug the steering wheel tightly, the seat will be adjusted very far forward. This posture causes the knees to press against the bottom of the steering column. When switching the brake and accelerator, the knees will rub against each other and prevent the driver from changing positions flexibly. And because I sit too close, my feet are already hooked up, and the brake position is higher than the accelerator, so it is easy to be blocked during the rotation switching process. At this time, I panic, step on it, and use the accelerator as a brake. stepped on, so the first step must be to ensure a reasonable sitting posture.
Some novice drivers also like to use both feet, one foot to brake and one foot to accelerator, because they find it very convenient to control. But when an emergency occurs, it is very easy to step on both feet at the same time, so that the car cannot be braked. So we must put an end to the bad habit of controlling with two feet.
