If you pay attention to observation, you will find that some female drivers like to adjust the seats very far forward when driving, and their chests are fast
When it came to the steering wheel, the big long legs still had to bend to step on the accelerator, but the female driver said that we did not carry this pot. Adjusting the seat very far forward is not only the patent of female drivers, in fact, the male and female compatriots who adjust the seat in this way have it, but most of them are novices. So the question is, why do novice drivers like to sit forward?
Why do novices like to turn their seats very forward?
In fact, novices not only like to adjust the seat forward, but also habitually sit a little higher, which is mainly because of the driving vision, many novices have a problem is that driving can not see the front of the hood, they feel unsteady, this is mainly because the driving technology is not skilled, can not judge the distance between the front of the car and obstacles, so sitting like this, will make the novice more secure, especially on some sedan models is particularly obvious. These drivers have their chests glued to the steering wheel, their legs too close to the throttle, and they have to arch their legs to step on the throttle and brakes.
Another reason is that many novices sit like this, feel that it is easier to step on the brakes to the end, and some functional buttons such as the central control, it is more convenient to use, so I like to adjust the seat very forward, but in fact, this driving sitting posture is very affecting driving safety.
Why is seat adjustment an inch more to save a life?
There is a saying in the circle of old drivers: One more inch to save a life! What does this mean, which means that when driving, the seat should be adjusted as far back as possible, so that in the event of a traffic accident, you can better protect yourself, so what is the effect of doing so?
The first is the field of vision, many novice drivers most commonly make the problem is to look forward and backward, only to adjust the seat forward, worried about being able to see the front of the car to avoid scratching, but ignoring the vision on both sides and the field of view of the rearview mirror. We might as well try it, when you adjust the seat to the front and to the end, to see how big the difference in vision is on both sides. When driving, the more the seat is adjusted to the front, the narrower the field of vision, the more the seat is adjusted to the back, the farther and wider the field of view, and when driving, you need to look farther away, so the field of view is very important, plus the seat is adjusted forward, the field of view of the rearview mirror is too narrow, it is difficult to observe the vehicle situation behind.
The second is that it is easy to increase driving fatigue and reduce the reaction speed. The seat is adjusted to the front, has been driving in a curled posture, it is easy to increase driving fatigue, in the face of unexpected situations, because the sitting posture is not stretched, it is easy to cause accidents due to improper operation.
Finally, it is too close to the airbag, we all know that the airbag in the moment of ejection, its power is very large, because the inside is filled with gunpowder, the ejection of the airbag is a small gunpowder explosion site. If you sit too close to the airbag, when the airbag is inflated, the huge impact force directly hits the occupant's face, and may even cause the occupant to die!
Therefore, adjusting the seat too far forward is a very dangerous driving behavior, if encountered in life, whether it is a male driver or a female driver, we must resolutely correct this behavior to avoid tragedy.
The correct sitting posture is as shown in the figure, when adjusting the seat front and rear, ensure that the right leg can be bent after completely stepping on the pedal, when the backrest is adjusted, the arm is naturally extended forward, the wrist can just be put on the steering wheel along the position, the backrest and the seat into a 110 ° angle, the height can be according to their own habits, but should not be adjusted too high, will cause driving fatigue.
Finally, you can keep in mind the following mantra:
On the car seat adjustment,
Front and back fit line of sight,
Comfortable seat backrest;
After adjusting the seat and stepping down the legs,
Brake to the bottom leg is not straight,
Waist strain do not move;
Hand direction 39 points,
The arm is bent at an angle,
Sit comfortably with clear lines of sight.
