ACCELERATOR PEDALS
Although most cars produced in the last year or so have accelerator pedals which are so placed that the sole of the foot can rest on them with moderate comfort during a long drive, many older models have a pedal which is so high, particularly for women drivers, that only the point of the toe touches it. This makes a long drive very tiring. It can easily be remedied, however, by screwing a piece of board to the floor, either as a heel rest just behind the pedal, or, if the pedal is on the extreme right side of the car, beside it, so that the foot can rest on it when the accelerator is slightly depressed.
