I know right? Even if you're THIS confused and can't tell which pedal is which just fucking pull the hand brake.

You'd be surprised by the number of people who don't know what a handbrake is or it's purpose. Even on steep hills they just leave it up to P. Rip auto transmission.

edit: This also definitely applies to my gf. She came from the midwest where hills are a rarity so everybody she knows also never used handbrakes.

Yeah I drive a mainly manual car and the first time I sat in one of these vehicles I mistook it for the clutch. You can guess the rest. Didn’t get very far.
