Comfort and Convenience
Preferred distance from the steering wheel is personal: it follows leg length, arm reach and habit rather than any rule. Two drivers sharing a car often reset it every time they swap.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where wipers, lights and hazard switches sit while parked means fewer moments spent looking away later. A few unhurried minutes before setting off turn deliberate searching into ordinary, repeatable movement.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on long days is a separate need from playing music or taking calls. If a suitable power outlet is present, knowing where it sits saves rummaging mid-journey.
