Popular Post webfact Posted December 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2021 Picture: Daily News Daily News reported on the latest Thai who doesn't know the difference between the brake and the accelerator. This was 57 year old Piyaphat down in Phuket. Wichit police were called after he drove his red plate (brand new) March into a grocers' front door. "I've only had it a month and five days," he said. "I wasn't drunk, I was going home from work," he attempted in mitigation for his driving skills. Not to worry - he was insured. In an effort to improve road safety ASEAN NOW notes that the brake and the accelerator are generally in standard positions in motor vehicles.

Am I reading this correctly? Am I to assume that some Car manufacturers actually swap the position of the brake and accelerator around? I have never driven a vehicle where the brake pedal is located on the right of the accelerator pedal. What are they talking about? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I have a hard time driving a vehicle with auto transmission after 50 years of owning mostly stick shifts. My left leg needs the exercise on the clutch and I have to have one hand rowing the gearbox (When I'm not drinking a beer or smoking a cigarette.). Just habit. My Mom went back to stick shifts for about 20 years. She said she had "more control", LOL. Go, granny, go. I have had occasions where I intentionally pressed the accelerator with my heel and the brake with my toe at the same time. But that was when off-roading in a 4 wheel drive and searching for traction on a hill. Works. I had a VW bus one time where I could shift a couple gears with my foot on the stick and my other foot did the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was driving it for a month and did not know the difference between the brake and accelerator?

Still, not meant for driving into shops, best to park it outside and walk in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
