Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a structure in which an accelerator pedal is located to the left of a brake pedal. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, the accelerator pedal has usually been located to the right of the brake pedal. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] This had the following drawbacks: Conventionally, the accelerator pedal was located to the right of the brake pedal, and drivers had to alternate between pressing the accelerator and brake pedals with their right foot, which often led to drivers pressing the wrong pedal. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] As a means to eliminate mistakes, the accelerator pedal is designed so that it cannot be pressed with the right foot. Therefore, by placing it on the left side, slightly away from the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal will be pressed with the left foot, eliminating mistakes. Effect of the Invention

[0005] By locating the accelerator pedal of the present invention to the left of the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal is stepped on with the left foot and the brake pedal with the right foot, eliminating the possibility of stepping on the wrong pedal. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] The best mode for carrying out the present invention will now be described. The brake pedal (2) is installed slightly to the right of the center position, and a footrest (3) is provided to the right of the brake pedal (2). The accelerator pedal (1) is provided on the left side of the brake pedal (2). The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. [Explanation of symbols]
