How You Should Actually Be Driving A Car. Did You Know?

Before the general public had access to the Internet people learned to drive through friends, family, or driving schools. They did not have prior knowledge of how to operate an automobile, or the rules of the road when they took the car out for a spin. Luckily the Internet has many resources for curious soon-to-be road navigators to educate themselves about driving so they will not feel so intimidated when applying for a beginner’s permit.

Get Comfortable

Adjust the driver’s seat forward, backward, front, or to the back. The driver should find a comfortable position and make sure the pedals on the floor of the car are in reach of the right foot. When in the proper seated position, the driver should reach for the seatbelt with the opposite hand, pull it slowly until it reaches the safety lock. Insert the end into the lock and when it clicks it is secure.

Pedals

There are two pedals on the car floor; The smaller pedal on the right is the accelerator or the gas pedal, and the one used to stop the vehicle is called the brake. The seat should be in an appropriate position, so the feet are touching the pedals comfortably. The pedals are designed for right handed people so the right foot should be used when pressing them; Only use one foot to operate both pedals.
