The main problem for a beginner driver is to synchronize the work of the hands and legs. In order for all movements to come from you on the subconscious level, "on the machine", you need to make sure that which pedals are intended and how they are located.
1
The number of pedals installed in the car depends on the type of transmission, which it is equipped. On cars with a manual gearbox (manual transmission) of their three: the clutch pedal, the brake pedal and the throttle control pedal, in the "gas". In cars with automatic gearbox (automatic transmission) pedals for one less: brake pedal and gas pedal. There is no pedal off the clutch.

The throttle pedal (gas pedal) is present on all types of cars without exception. It serves to smoothly regulate the engine power that you choose at every moment of movement. By location in the car is right, relative to the other pedals. Managed only with the right foot. Pressing the gas pedal, we increase the engine speed, thereby increasing its power. Releasing pedal, we "reset gas", reducing engine speed.

Brake pedal is also equipped with all types of cars. It serves to control the slowdown of the machine during the movement. It is always on the left of the throttle control pedal (in cars with MCP in the middle). Managed only with the right foot. The most important of all pedals, since sometimes, in order to avoid accidents, emergency braking is required.

The clutch shutdown pedal is present only in cars with a manual gearbox (MCPP). It serves to break the stream of power between the engine and the gearbox. Managed only with the left foot. When you press the pedal, there is a temporary gap of the mechanical connection between the engine and the manual transmission, at this moment you can quickly without the "crunch" in the gears to choose the desired transmission.
Several recommendations Finally - click on the pedals smoothly, without sharp movements (with the exception of emergency braking). On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, never press the "Gas" and "brake" simultaneously - the fatal breakdown of the gearbox is possible. Good luck on the roads!
