Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. Some drivers want to sit high for a clear view of the road ahead, others prefer to sit low and close to the wheel, and differences in build make the same setting feel unlike itself.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth learning where the essentials sit before setting off: hazard lights, demisting, mirrors and lighting. Sorting that out while stationary means fewer small decisions are postponed to the moment they are actually needed.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on the move is a need of its own, separate from calls or music. Where a suitable power outlet and cable are to hand, navigation can run through a long trip without emptying the battery.
