Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating posture varies widely: some drivers sit upright and close to the wheel, others further back with arms extended. Body proportions, height and long-formed habit explain the difference, which is why no single position suits everyone.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights, mirrors and the hazard switch are worth locating while parked, before a journey begins. Searching for an unfamiliar control in moving traffic draws on attention that city driving already occupies, so an unhurried minute beforehand is time well spent.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level matters on stop-start city days, when navigation apps run continuously. If a charging point is available, keeping the phone topped up remains separate from whether calls route through the audio system or music plays.
