If you are wondering how not to confuse the gas and brake pedals, then you have only recently got behind the wheel, are nervous and cannot fully and, most importantly, safely drive. But this does not matter - the main thing is not to forget that training should be carried out only at specially equipped sites, training grounds or, at extreme case, outside the city, on old airfields or rural roads.
How not to confuse the gas and brake pedals are the best solutions.
In order to stop confusing the gas and brake pedals, you need, firstly, not to be nervous. Sitting behind the wheel, you need to completely relax and tune in to the fact that you do not need to get from point A to point B, but enjoy the trip and not be nervous for anything. Once you can relax really well, then everything necessary actions will be performed slowly and carefully.
To begin with, it is the slowness that is important. In cars with manual gearboxes (which are usually taught to beginners to drive) there are only three pedals and it is almost impossible to confuse them, especially after you have slowly worked out the entire sequence of actions. The motor skills and automatics of the body will independently make the necessary decisions - where to press if necessary. It should be remembered that the leftmost pedal in vehicles with manual transmission is the clutch pedal. It only needs to be squeezed out when you change gears (you can also use it when braking - how, read below). The rightmost pedal is the gas pedal. This is done in all cars, without exception, of any brands, models, years of manufacture, types and varieties. The gas pedal is always on the right, no exceptions. Therefore, your right leg will always be responsible only for increasing the engine speed.
As you might guess, the brake pedal is located in the middle. In cars with automatic transmission gears the brake pedal is also located to the left of the gas pedal. If you drive a manual box, then the brake will be the middle pedal, and if on automatic, then the leftmost of the two.
To prevent your feet from getting tangled in two or three pedals, ask the instructor to explain to you correct position... Although you can learn this on your own. The first thing to remember is that the left grip leg is always at rest, it lies slightly sideways near the clutch pedal on the left. Or it stands, raised on the heel and presses on the pedal when necessary.
And the right leg - it is she who should be responsible for the gas and brake pedals. On machines and with manual box gear, and with automatic. The bottom line is that the heel of your right foot should always be on the floor. In any cases and provisions. Never lift the heel, heel of your foot off the floor of the car, just with the middle of your foot and its toe pressing the gas and brake pedals. So it turns out that you will not be able to mix up the pedals and your legs will not get tangled in the space between them. Left leg is responsible for the clutch and it is pointless to press on the brake with it - it is inconvenient and not practical, completely get rid of this habit immediately if you have it. Only the right foot is responsible for gas and brake. Standing on the heel, she alternately moves the toe between both pedals and press on them alternately. So it turns out that when you need to get under way without lifting your foot from the floor, we press the extreme right pedal, and when you need to brake, we simply transfer the middle of the foot and its toe to the left pedal (brake pedal). That's the whole science, it is simply impossible to get confused.
And at the expense of braking - when braking with the right foot, we can help the car do it more quickly by depressing the clutch pedal with our left foot. Inside the vehicle, the crankshaft will disengage from the flywheel and the vehicle will be able to stop more quickly.
Now you know how not to confuse the gas and brake pedals.

(I immediately recall the anecdote: "Don't show off, but show with your hand"))) .. At the same time, I very easily navigate in space and remember the location of objects.
Answer from Fortuna ad me[guru]
Here you write how you can mix it up. Last summer, in our area, one such mixed up, I don't know what. She was parked next to the bus stop and was talking on a cell phone, then suddenly her car drove into a bus stop where a mother with a five-year-old child was sitting on a bench, the mother jumped away, and the child's leg was practically blown off. The woman driver then got out of the car and said that she didn’t understand at all how it happened, that she didn’t do anything at all.
Women drive more carefully than men. Nobody argues. But at the same time, a rare man, out of inexperience, will confuse left and right when parking or gas with a brake when you need to brake.
Below the clearest example how girls out of the blue can forget everything that the driving instructors taught. According to the author of the video, his friend left with his wife for the first time after studying at a driving school.
Well, some more examples:

As you might guess, the brake pedal is located in the middle. In vehicles with an automatic transmission, the brake pedal is also located to the left of the accelerator pedal. If you drive a manual box, then the brake will be the middle pedal, and if on automatic, then the leftmost of the two.
To prevent your feet from getting tangled in two or three pedals, ask the instructor to explain the correct position to you. Although you can learn this on your own.

The bottom line is that the heel of your right foot should always be on the floor. In any cases and provisions. Never lift the heel, heel of your foot off the floor of the car, just with the middle of your foot and its toe pressing the gas and brake pedals.
