Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies widely: some drivers sit upright and close, others further back with arms extended. Body proportions and personal habit explain the difference, which is why a settled position usually takes a little experimenting.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it helps to locate wipers, lights, mirrors and the hazard switch while stationary. Reaching for them later then becomes habit rather than searching, which is simply sensible preparation for unfamiliar journeys.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on longer trips is a common concern. Where a suitable power socket or USB port is available, keeping a cable in the car means arriving with battery left for navigation or parking payments.
