Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a common point of disagreement. What one passenger calls comfortable another finds stuffy, because clothing, activity beforehand and personal tolerance all differ, which is why settings are usually adjusted more than once.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A minute spent before setting off — adjusting mirrors, checking how the gear selector works, noting how the parking brake releases — turns unfamiliar actions into deliberate ones rather than guesses made in traffic.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls are the part of phone use that intrudes most on driving, since they arrive unannounced. Deciding in advance whether to answer, reject or let voicemail take them keeps the decision from being made in a hurry.
