Comfort and Convenience
Preferred driving position varies from person to person, shaped by height, leg and arm length, and simple habit. A setting that suits one regular driver may feel wrong to another sharing the same car.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A short pause before setting off is a good moment to locate hazard lights, demisting and wiper controls, especially in an unfamiliar car. Preparation of that kind costs a minute and removes later searching.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters on longer trips, when navigation drains a battery faster than expected. Where a suitable power outlet and cable are available, it is worth arranging them before departure rather than mid-journey.
