Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Some drivers want a high, upright view over the road, while others sit lower and closer to the wheel, and the posture that suits someone follows their height, build and habit.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with lights, wipers and mirrors while parked means those controls are already familiar when they are wanted. Learning them in calm conditions is simply easier than searching for them mid-journey.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters on longer drives, since navigation drains a battery quickly. Where a charging option is available, it is worth treating separately from calls and from music, which may rely on a different connection.
