A photo has gone viral showing what looks like four pedals in a car. Normally, a manual car only has three â clutch, brake, and gas. So what is this mysterious extra pedal that confused millions online?
đ The Internet Canât Figure Out the 4th Pedal in This Car! Hereâs the Explanation Everyone Missed!â
The truth is simple but surprising: the âfourth pedalâ is not actually a pedal at all. Itâs the parking brake (handbrake) pedal, a design mostly found in American cars and some older European models. Instead of pulling a handbrake lever, drivers would push this pedal with their foot to lock the car in place.
For those who have never seen this before, it looks completely alien â which is why the picture exploded across Facebook and Twitter.
đ Now you know: itâs not a secret clutch, not a nitro button, and definitely not a trap. Itâs just the old-school foot-operated parking brake!
