Question 3904
In an uncertain situation, you can gain a few vital meters to avoid an accident if you place your foot...
- on the brake pedal, pressing it lightly.
- in front of the clutch pedal.
- in front of the brake pedal without pressing it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: in front of the brake pedal without pressing it.
In an uncertain situation, take your foot off the accelerator and position it over the brake pedal without pressing it. If you end up needing to brake, you won't lose time moving your foot, and engine braking will already have slowed the car down a little. That way, you stop in fewer meters. Pressing the brake means you are already braking, and the clutch does not stop the car.
