Sony suspects that the driver stepped on the wrong pedal, I wanted to step on the brake pedal but what happened was that the driver stepped on the gas pedal.
Accidents due to the wrong pedal pedal often occur. The driver intended to step on the brake pedal but instead pressed the gas pedal all the way. This makes accidents unavoidable.
Sony made a suggestion, Every driver should get used to adjusting vehicle speed according to their ability when turning the steering wheel. “Putar balik harus dilakukan dengan kecepatan serendah mungkin untuk memastikan kendaraan terkontrol karena ban berbelok. The steering wheel from straight turned 2-2,5 rotation and returned to the straight position afterwards,” saran Sony.
So that you don't make a mistake when pressing the gas pedal, Position your feet correctly on each pedal. The correct position of the heel is in front of the brake pedal and when you accelerate, your toes are slightly angled towards the gas pedal.
