THE BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT CAN CATCH THE SIDE OR SOLE OF THE DRIVER'S SHOE SO THAT THE BRAKES CANNOT BE ACTIVATED. IT CAN CAPTURE THE SHOE UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. WHEN NEEDING BRAKES UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE SHOE CAN BE TRAPPED, AND CAN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAUSED MY MOTHER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND ONLY 3 CARS WERE DAMAGED.
