Why do novices like to set their seats very forward?
In fact, novices not only like to adjust their seats forward, but also habitually sit a little higher, mainly because of the driving vision. Many novices have a problem, that is, they feel uneasy when they can't see the front of the hood, mainly because they are not skilled in driving and can't judge the distance between the front of the car and obstacles, so sitting like this will make novices feel more secure, especially on some car models. These drivers want to put their chests on the steering wheel, and their legs are too close to the accelerator, so they have to bow their legs and brake on the accelerator.
Another reason is that many novices think it is easier to step on the brakes when sitting like this, and some function buttons, such as central control, are more convenient to use, so they like to adjust their seats to the front, but in fact this driving posture is very harmful to driving safety.
Why do you say that seat adjustment is an extra inch to save lives?
There is a saying in the circle of old drivers: an extra inch saves a life! What does this mean? It means that you should adjust your seat as far back as possible when driving, so that you can better protect yourself in the event of a traffic accident. So what is the purpose of doing this?
The first is the field of vision. The most common problem that many novice drivers make is to look forward and turn their seats forward, thinking that they can see the front of the car to avoid rubbing against it, but they ignore the vision and rearview mirrors on both sides. We might as well try. When you adjust the seat to the front and back, look at the gap between the two sides. When driving, the farther the seat is adjusted, the narrower the vision will be, and the farther the seat is adjusted, the wider the vision will be. When driving, you should look far, so it is important to broaden your horizons. In addition, when the seat is adjusted forward, the field of view of the rearview mirror is too narrow, so it is difficult to observe the situation of the rear vehicle.
Secondly, it is easy to increase driving fatigue and reduce reaction speed. When the seat is set forward and driving in a curled posture, it is easy to increase driving fatigue. In case of emergency, because the sitting posture does not stretch, improper operation is easy to cause accidents.
Finally, it is too close to the airbag. As we all know, the instantaneous power of airbag ejection is very great, because it is filled with gunpowder, and airbag ejection is a small gunpowder explosion site. If you sit too close to the airbag, when the airbag pops up due to inflation, the huge impact force will directly hit the occupant's face, which may even lead to the occupant's death!
Therefore, it is a very dangerous driving behavior to adjust the seat too far forward. If they meet in life, both male and female drivers should resolutely correct this behavior and avoid tragedies.
The correct sitting posture is shown in the picture. When adjusting the seat back and forth, make sure that the right leg can still bend after fully depressing the pedal. When adjusting the backrest, the wrist can just reach the position of the upper edge of the steering wheel when the arm is naturally extended, and the included angle between the backrest and the seat is 1 10, which can be adjusted according to your own habits, but not too high, which will cause driving fatigue.
Finally, you can remember the following formula:
Adjust the height of the car seat,
Right front and right rear, straight line of sight,
Comfortable seat back adjustment;
After adjusting the seat, kick,
Brake to the end, legs are not straight,
The waist is hard and motionless;
The holding direction is 39 points,
The arm is bent at an angle,
Comfortable sitting posture, clear vision.
