Take the brakes off the accelerators to move forward - September 2022

Growing up all of our vehicles had a clutch pedal, brake pedal, accelerator pedal and some had the starter pedal that got everything going. For those hard to start vehicles hitting the starter pedal while trying to get the accelerator pedal just right was kind of an art. Of course, those vehicles that had all those things on the floorboard also had a choke on the dash you had to work with as well. After you got the engine going, got it in gear and headed out, you were advised in strong language to keep your foot off the clutch while driving down the road. It was a given that you also kept your foot off the brake pedal unless you needed the vehicle to slow down or stop. This part was just self-evident.
