Why is a driver required to adjust his sitting position before starting to drive?
- To prevent unnecessary leg pains that are a result of prolonged sitting in the driver’s seat.
- Correct answer: To have good control of the vehicle’s operation, instruments and field of vision.
- Only pregnant women are required to adjust their sitting position.
- To have easier access to the radio or cellular phone.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: To have good control of the vehicle’s operation, instruments and field of vision.
A correct sitting position lets the driver reach the steering wheel, pedals and other controls comfortably and with full control, and see the road and mirrors clearly. Adjust the seat, backrest, steering wheel and mirrors before setting off, not while driving. Every driver needs this adjustment, not just pregnant women, and easier reach to a phone or radio is no reason, since handling them while driving is distracting.
