What is the proper position to adjust the seat for a driving test?
1 Answers
Since everyone's body size is different, the height adjustment of the seat for a driving test will vary. For most sedans and SUVs, there should be a gap of one to two fists between the top of the head and the roof of the car, ensuring that the horizontal eye line is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. Seat forward and backward adjustment: Depending on the vehicle model and configuration, the adjustable angle switches may vary. When adjusting the seat's forward and backward distance, always remember the principle: your feet should be able to fully depress the clutch and brake pedals, and your arms should be slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. Steering wheel adjustment: The position of the steering wheel should be adjusted according to the seat's position. If the steering wheel is too close to the body, it may increase the risk of injury when the airbag deploys. If it is too far, it may lead to misoperation in emergency situations. The optimal position for the steering wheel is when your arms are fully extended and rest on the top of the steering wheel, with your wrists just touching the edge of the wheel. Backrest angle adjustment: The backrest angle greatly affects comfort. It should be adjusted reasonably—neither too reclined nor too upright. This reduces the distance between the body and the steering wheel, which may increase the risk of injury from the airbag in an emergency.
