This is a mistake that the vast majority of FOTO Twitter drivers fall into
The vast majority of drivers may have to dig deep into their pockets because they are the victims of a serious driving mistake.
There are some driving mistakes that are disastrous, causing car accidents with serious injuries. There are also those that, although they do not present a high risk of leading to an unpleasant road situation, have a destructive effect on our car, causing particularly expensive damage.
The last category also includes the incorrect way of placing the feet on the pedals of the car while driving. This is a mistake made by the vast majority of drivers, especially those who have just received their driver’s license.
Many people who drive a car with a manual transmission, constantly press the clutch pedal when it is not necessary.
The left pedal should only be pressed when changing gears, through the gearbox, and not when waiting at traffic lights or for someone to get into the car.
The more often we press the clutch pedal, the more the clutch bearing wears.
In addition, if we stop at a traffic light, there is a risk of an accident, when we leave the car in one gear and our foot slips from the clutch. A sudden movement occurs that may result in a collision with the vehicle in front of us.
So, while waiting for the green light to come on, we need to release our left foot away from the clutch pedal. For this reason, there is the special foot rest located on the left side of the clutch.
An equally serious mistake many drivers make is not fully depressing the left pedal, which wears out the clutch disc and thrust bearing.
