Controls the rate of fuel supplied to the engine.
The accelerator or "gas" pedal as it is commonly referred as is controlled by the right foot. Usually very sensitive and takes practice to get a "feel" for how much pressure to apply. The more pressure that is applied, the more fuel goes to the engine giving more power / speed.

Used to slow down and stop the vehicle.
The centre pedal also operated by the right foot. When the pedal is pressed it applies the brakes to all 4 wheels and will cause the car to slow down or stop. The greater the pressure, the greater the slowing or stopping effect. The main rule of braking is brake progressively, lightly to start, gradually pressing harder as the brakes begin to work, Just before the car comes to a stop, ease off the pressure to bring the car to a gentle stop. Operation of the brake pedal will bring on the brake lights.

Used to change gear and move away.
Also used to control the vehicle at low speeds, known as clutch control.
The left pedal and is operated by the left foot. This is the link between the engine and the wheels. The ability to sense the "biting point" is essential when moving off and changing gear. The clutch pedal should be brought all the way up except when using clutch control at low speeds and is not a foot rest. When the clutch is pressed, the link is broken allowing the car to stop without stalling the engine and also allowing gear changes to take place. It is also needed to move off in a smooth and controlled manner.

If 0 is fully depressed, and 10 is fully up, mark on the diagram where the biting point is on your training car.
