Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
On the floor or footrest.
Official explanation
When driving, a driver should rest their left foot on the floor or footrest but not under the pedals. To do so may cause a delayed response time in an emergency. Resting the foot on the pedal may result in coasting, which may inadvertently increase the speed of the vehicle or cause clutch mechanism damage.
