Ever notice how the brake pedal is placed on a higher plane than the gas pedal? You’re not imagining that; it’s becoming a trend in the auto industry, according to Ask.cars.com. The placement partly has to do with safety reasons. Putting the brake pedal higher forces drivers to lift their foot off the accelerator to apply the brake, reducing the chance of pressing both pedals at the same time. For more information on pedal placement, particularly on Honda models, go to Ask.cars.com. Also check out MotherProof.com and PickupTrucks.com for our other top stories.
