As a brake pedal, it often happens in daily life, not only because the driver's driving skills are not enough, but also because the driver's sitting posture is wrong and his right foot is in the wrong position. So, let’s talk about the correct sitting posture when driving and how to place your right foot.
If you don’t drive, the first thing you do after getting in the car is to adjust the seat to get the best driving posture. To adjust the seat, first adjust the backrest so that the seat backrest can tilt 100 to 120 degrees, which can reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine and make driving more comfortable.
Then, adjust the headrest so that the position of the headrest should be in the middle of the back of the head, and the position where the back of the head touches the headrest should be slightly above eye level. When not leaning against the headrest, the distance between the headrest and the head should be as close as possible, and the distance between the headrest and the head should be kept at about three fingers.
Finally, adjust the front and rear position of the seat. When holding the steering wheel at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock with both hands, the arms naturally bend 120 degrees. With your right foot on the brake pedal, your knees can be slightly bent. If the right foot is fully extended when the brake is pressed to the bottom, the seat should be adjusted forward again. If the leg is bent too much, the seat should be adjusted backward.
The correct driving posture with the right foot should be to step on the brake and the accelerator diagonally, that is to say, we should fix the heel of the right foot in front of the brake pedal, with the heel as the axis between the accelerator and the brake switch. The chart is as follows:
There is a scientific basis for putting your right foot in this way. Keep your right heel planted in front of the brake. When you press the gas pedal, it's your feet that are spread wide, which is the natural position most people have when standing. Just imagine, if we fix the heel in front of the accelerator, it will form a figure-eight shape when braking, making the operation inconvenient.
In addition, if the right heel is fixed in front of the brake pedal, the direction of the braking force will be in a straight line with the brake pedal, and the maximum force can be applied during emergency braking. At the same time, it can also avoid the tragedy of pressing the accelerator as the brake.
Note that the right heel must be fixed on the floor and not hanging in the air. This is also one of the reasons why the accelerator acts as a brake. For an automatic car, we basically have no use of our left foot, so we just step on the left pedal.
