Abstract
A pedal system containing a right foot pedal, a left foot pedal and a motion inverter mechanism. The right foot pedal is moveable from a right foot pedal neutral position to a depressed acceleration position. The left foot pedal is moveable from a left foot pedal neutral position to a depressed braking position. The motion inverter mechanism operatively couples to the right and left foot pedals, for movement of the right foot pedal or the left foot pedal in an opposite direction to a raised position upon depression of the other of the right foot pedal or the left foot pedal. Also disclosed is a method of preventing concurrent depression of the gas and brake pedal. The pedal system disclosed can allow left foot braking and can also prevent concurrent depression of the gas and brake pedals, and hence, avoid stalling an automobile. The pedal system may also be installed with “drive by wire” type automobiles.
