What are the reasons for incorrect driving posture in Subject 3?
3 Answers
Appearing "incorrect driving posture" may be due to gear shifting issues or starting problems. The following are related expansion materials: 1. Gear shifting issues: Shifting into the wrong gear, not being able to look down when shifting gears, unfamiliarity with gear positions may lead to shifting into the wrong gear, or touching the sensor in another gear slot while shifting. Shifting too quickly, if the time spent in neutral is too short during shifting, failing to let the neutral sensor detect it, and directly shifting gears, the computer will consider it a wrong gear shift and report an error with a penalty. Staying in neutral for too long, although it is necessary to pause in neutral when shifting gears, but not for too long. 2. Starting problems: If the action of pressing the accelerator is not timely, "incorrect driving posture" will appear.
During the driving test for Subject 3, I realized my improper driving posture was mainly due to insufficient practice. For instance, an improperly adjusted seat—either too far or too close—led to incorrect steering wheel grip. Additionally, staring at the wheel instead of looking ahead and having a stiff body caused poor hand-foot coordination. These habits might stem from the instructor's lack of detailed guidance or my own nervousness, often leading to mistakes during mock tests. I recall a friend who frequently looked down while practicing and lost points in the exam due to incorrect posture. To improve, it's essential to practice mock tests more, adjust the seat and mirrors properly, keep the back against the seat, and maintain forward vision. Otherwise, this could lower the pass rate and even cause long-term driving fatigue, resulting in back pain over time, which is quite uncomfortable. It's advisable to find an experienced partner to practice repeatedly until the movements feel natural.
When I took the driving test (Subject 3), I also made posture mistakes, mainly due to excessive nervousness. My body was stiff, shoulders raised too high, and hands fumbling on the steering wheel. My foot was too close to the clutch, causing it to slip when braking. The reasons might be the instructor's fast-paced explanations that I didn't fully digest, or being too accustomed to my own car's seating position, which made me uncomfortable in the test car. This issue needs to be addressed early because incorrect posture affects control, making the car prone to deviation during turns. It's important to develop a habit of adjusting the seat height and distance every time you get in the car, and not leaning too far back against the seat. Later, I corrected my posture through repeated practice of parallel parking and curves, and felt much more stable during the test.
