Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal thing. Height, leg length and posture habits mean two drivers rarely settle on the same arrangement, so what suits one person can feel wrong to another sharing the same car.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes before setting off, spent locating the hazard lights, the demister and the mirror adjusters, removes unfamiliar moments later. Preparation here simply means knowing where things are while the car is still parked.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone running navigation for hours uses power steadily, so keeping it charged during the drive is a practical concern in itself, separate from whether music is playing or a call needs answering.
