How to live when you don’t know left from right in a world where everyone else does.
It frustrated me a lot as a kid because I didn’t know what was wrong and took years to find workarounds. I was worried about driving but turns out I never mix up the pedals this way.
A lot of the time I’ll get the correct direction from hearing it so it’s not debilitating or anything. It’s just hard to put the words “right” and “left” in my memory along with an action.
Muscle memory is great though. Most people turn the sink to cold water without trying, so the more you practice something, the more it’s programmed into you without any pesky words.
You can also use this theory when living in a new part of the world where things are oriented differently than you’re used to. Just make up a new logic rule for the differences.
Happy navigating!
This isn’t helpful for me, but I bet it will be for a lot of people.
By the way, the way I remember brake vs. accelerator is that the brake is closer to the wedge/platform thing that I put my non-driving foot on, and that doesn’t move. So, the pedal closer to that is the one that stops the car from moving.
