Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is personal: leg length, torso height and arm reach all differ, so two drivers rarely settle on the same setup. Time spent finding your own position before setting off is worthwhile.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Checking where the hazard switch, demister and headlight controls sit is a small piece of preparation that suits a stationary car better than a moving one. It is simply easier to learn without traffic around.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery drains quickly on a long drive with navigation running. If a suitable charging outlet and cable are available, keeping the handset topped up avoids arriving with a flat screen.
