Comfort and Convenience
Drivers disagree about how upright they like to sit. Some prefer a reclined posture with arms extended, others sit closer and more upright; build, leg length and habit explain much of the difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Familiarity with the controls is something to build in a quiet car park rather than at speed. Adjusting mirrors, testing lights and trying the climate settings beforehand keeps attention on the route once traffic starts.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls are the awkward part of a long drive. Where a hands-free arrangement is available and paired in advance, conversations can be handled without holding a phone, which is also what the law generally expects.
