Driving position

There are three aspects that must be set when the driving position, namely comfort, communication and control. Leisure, when conditions in the comfortable, the body is not expected quickly tired driving causing the concentration of fixed maximum although in a relatively long time.

Communication, drivers must get a power perspective and best able to communicate with the car or the environment. So factor ‘seen and be seen’ (and the view can be seen) met. Control, drivers must be responsive environment look around, take action quickly and precisely anticipate every potential danger.

Sitting position

Sit back really stick in the back seat to the base of spine. At the back stick perfectly, use the wrist as the second measure. Positioned both wrists on the steering wheel (12-way) and down, each day at the position 3 (right hand) and 9 (left hand).

If you have tilt steering, set the steering wheel to the chest, give range of 10 inches. So when the air bag inflates, it will protect the chest, not the head. Position and set foot on the pedal, pedal. Place the heel of the right foot gas pedal and brake pedal. This position will accelerate the reaction when sudden braking is required.

Besides adjusting the height of a head restraint up to your ear, so it can protect the head and neck injuries in the case of impact from the front and back.

Hand position

Positioned hands on the position of 3 hours and 9 minutes, because with this position can control the vehicle better. In addition, instruments such as seine and wiper can also be driven using a finger, not hands. Position such as this also does not make a body tired quickly, because the position of not higher than the heart.

However, that needs to be, not the thumb into the steering wheel (stir). Because the front-wheel drive vehicle when you get caught something, for example, blocks, paving, embankment, and so on, the vehicle will usually rotates very quickly. This condition can cause a wrist injury at the hands and fingers.

Finally, do not forget to always use a safety belt, and Take a break during the four hour trip. Happy holidays. (okz)
