Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a good example of personal preference. Some drivers like to sit high and upright, others lower and further back, and because height, reach and habit all vary, one setting rarely suits two people equally.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth a minute spent locating the essentials: lights, wipers, demister, hazard switch. Doing that while stationary leaves fewer things to work out later, once traffic is already asking for attention.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is its own everyday need, since a series of short trips may add very little to the battery. Where a suitable power source and cable are to hand, topping up en route becomes straightforward.
