Which statement is correct about foot placement when transitioning from brake to accelerator while driving?

• A. Your foot in front of the accelerator and pivot to the brake.
• B. Your foot in front of the brake and pivot to the accelerator.
• C. Both A or B are correct.
• D. Neither A nor B is correct.

Answer: (B)

Moving from braking to accelerating should be a quick, smooth swap of the same foot between the two pedals. Keep your foot near the brake so you can pivot it toward the accelerator with a small ankle motion, allowing you to press the gas promptly and with control. This minimizes the chance of inadvertently pressing the brake again or losing momentum. The option describing starting with the foot in front of the brake and pivoting to the accelerator matches this safe, efficient transition, whereas starting with the foot in front of the accelerator and pivoting to the brake would hinder a quick move to the gas.
