No, one of them is the "don't accelerate" pedal you use to switch gears.

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago

You're applying acceleration to the gear switcher

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Just like I'm applying acceleration to your mom

I think that car has a dead pedal, otherwise that is the fattest clutch pedal I have seen by a longshot.

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly my thinking, looks like a dead pedal not a clutch.

I've never seen a clutch bigger than the brake pedal.

It could be the handbrake (well, footbrake). If that's the case, it's unusually close to the other pedals.

[-] mmddmm@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

And way too large, and way too low.

Handbrake pedals are usually small pedals, away from the others and raised so it's uncomfortable to reach them.
