The heel of the left foot shall be placed as far forward as possible and shall rest on the floor pan. The left foot shall be positioned as flat as possible on the toeboard. The longitudinal centreline of the left foot shall be placed as parallel as possible to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle.
