For the Americans out there: Car pedals 101


  • Lesson 1: The pedal on the left right (OMG I always thought that these brain melting conference calls were doing no good. Brain is truly melted. Must. Not. Try To. Edit. While. Listening) is the accellerator. You press it with your foot. If your bloated beast of a car is still moving at the pace of a sloth on valium, press it some more.
  • Lesson 2: This is not a footrest – the pedal in the middle is actually the brake. This is not to be used either when driving round corners (clue start the corner at the right speed) or when driving downhill (clue change to a lower gear).
  • Lesson 3: This is advanced stuff. Look at the one on the left. This is the clutch. Do not under any circumstances attempt to drive a car with one of these until you have fully grasped the concept of the hill start (clue this does not involve rolling backwards in any way).
