Video tutorial

The arrangement of pedals in a vehicle with a manual gearbox always follows the same pattern: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. But why? The choice of arrangement is not random; the clutch pedal is positioned on the left to prevent the driver from accidentally pressing the brake pedal while keeping the accelerator pedal pressed during driving.
