Comfort and Convenience
Where a person likes to sit varies with height, build and habit: some want a low, enclosed position, others a more upright one with a clearer view forward. Neither preference is more correct.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Taking a few unhurried minutes before setting off to locate lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting is simply sensible preparation. Learning these while stationary means less improvising later, particularly in an unfamiliar car or in poor weather.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged over a long day matters to anyone navigating by it; a flat battery ends that mid-route. If a suitable power outlet is available, it is worth checking that it reaches where the phone sits.
