Question 859 in the bank

What should be the initial actions taken by a driver after entering the vehicle and before starting to drive?

  1. Checking the position of the gear handle.
  2. Buckling the seatbelt.
  3. Starting-up and warming the vehicle.
  4. Correct answer: Adjusting the seat, steering wheel, mirrors and head rests.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Adjusting the seat, steering wheel, mirrors and head rests.

Before anything else, the driving position must fit the driver. The seat sets the distance to the pedals and steering wheel, and only then can the wheel, mirrors and head rests be adjusted correctly. Buckling the seatbelt is essential but comes after these adjustments, since moving the seat changes how the belt fits. Starting the engine comes only once all preparations are done.
