Correct driving position is of great importance for the driver.
One mistake and driving will not be comfortable.
The driver will face such difficulties as muscle strain and rapid fatigue.
And severe fatigue, as we know, makes a person much less attentive.
The inability to fully monitor the traffic situation and respond in a timely manner to certain situations increases the risk of getting into an accident.
Therefore, the driver must sit correctly behind the wheel to make the trip safe for himself and passengers.
What conditions must be met when getting behind the wheel
Before starting a trip, the driver must position the driver's seat so that it is possible to adopt the following position:
- the legs should be slightly bent at the knees (the angle between the shin and thigh should be approximately 120 degrees);
- the arms should be bent at the elbows (the angle, again, is 120 degrees);
- You can't bend over or slouch too much.
In addition, you need to make sure that the dashboard and mirrors are clearly visible.
