The author of the "Bright Side" channel points out that it is very important to take care of the driver's seat. It must be adjusted properly, which is crucial for both safety and driving comfort.

The seat should be set so that your hips are at the same height as your knees. If you do not have a clear view through the front or side windows, raise the seat. If you feel that your knees are too bent and you are uncomfortable, place your foot on the pedal and move the seat back. The gap between the seat and your knees should be at least two fingers' width—this is what we hear in the video.

How to properly set the driver's seat?

The two-finger method is undoubtedly very important and helps to avoid knee pain.

If you implement the mentioned recommendations, you will drive in the correct position, which does not strain your spine as much. It's also a position that helps you avoid fatigue during long journeys—advises the author.

It was also suggested that the seatback should be reclined at an angle of one hundred degrees. It is essential that the driver can easily reach the steering wheel with the elbows slightly bent.
