Why do some cars have three pedals when I only have two feet?

you have 10 toes- so cars need 7 more pedals

You are young. I remember dimmer and starter buttons on the floorboard.

They have cruise control now so you can use your right knee for steering. Left foot is for braking. Right thumb for speeding up or slowing down. Left hand for the horn, flashing the headlights, and controling the radio from the steering wheel.

Some of the old cars also had a foot operated starter, headlight dimmer switch, and possibly a parking brake pedal.

I drive a 1976 12 ton Chevy dually truck.

It is a manual transmission-—a Granny 4 speed...

I have driven this truck OVER 250,000 miles....

No PROBLEMS.

Clutch Brake Accelerator. Also Emergency brake pedal.
