Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference rather than a fixed standard. Height, reach and how much of the road someone likes to see all differ, so two drivers sharing one car often prefer noticeably different positions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment before setting off to locate the wipers, lights, demister and hazard switches is simple preparation. Knowing where they are in advance means a sudden shower or a darkening street does not turn into a search.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone battery is a usual city concern, since navigation apps drain it across a morning of short hops. Where a charging option is available, keeping the phone powered is a separate matter from placing calls or playing music.
