Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter: height, build and long-held habit lead one driver to sit upright and close to the wheel, another further back with arms extended. Preferences also shift with the length of the trip.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off it is worth locating the wipers, lights, demister and hazard switch, particularly in an unfamiliar car. Preparation of that kind means a change in weather does not turn into a search mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is the usual daily concern, since a commute often follows a morning of heavy use. Where a power source is available, plugging in on the way keeps the charge topped up without adding a separate stop.
