What is the correct driving posture for drivers?
1 Answers
Here is the correct car driving posture: 1. Adjust the distance between the clutch, brake, accelerator, and your legs and seat. Based on your body size, ensure that when your right foot fully depresses the brake pedal, clutch pedal, and accelerator, there is a natural bend between your thigh and calf. This indicates the proper front and rear seat position. 2. Adjust the seat angle and height. The ideal seat angle is about 8 degrees between the backrest and the vertical direction, though precise measurement with a protractor isn't necessary—just aim for this general range. The seat height should allow your thighs to exert full force comfortably, avoiding excessive upward tilt. 3. Adjust the distance between your arms and the steering wheel. The standard distance is when your hands grip the steering wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, with arms slightly bent. To adjust, extend your arms parallel forward and place them on the top of the steering wheel. Adjust the steering wheel height so that your arms are level with your shoulders, then lock the steering wheel for the correct distance. 4. Adjust the seat belt height relative to your shoulders. The seat belt must never be lower than your shoulders; ideally, it should be 5-10cm higher. Ensure that when fastened, the seat belt passes over the middle of your right collarbone.
