The page known as @drivingskills_ captioned the instructional video: "Correct foot position while driving!"
Hashtags were included in the caption like #howto, #cartok, #driving, #skills, #tips and #carsoftiktok.
The video demonstrated a number of common ways drivers may switch their feet from the gas pedal to the break before showing viewers the correct way to do it.
First, the clip displayed a driver's foot on the gas before switching the tip of the foot to touch the brake while the heel stayed in place.

The person who runs the @drivingskills_ account put a big red X after doing the first common move because switching your foot to the brake in that way would be incorrect, according to the video.
Even lifting your whole foot from the gas pedal and moving it over in a straight, parallel position would be the wrong foot positioning for a safe and smooth drive, the page showed.
What the clip displayed as the correct way to navigate the driving pedals with your foot involves already having your foot on the brake, and moving it from there to the gas instead of the other way around.
The best and most effective way to position your feet on the driving pedals would be to move your foot from the brake to the gas pedal without lifting your heel, @drivingskills_ informed.
