Regarding the adjustment of car seats, many people only focus on comfort and neglect safety. According to statistics, many accidents occur because drivers do not adjust their seats correctly, resulting in tragic operational errors.
Let's summarize how to adjust the seat and maintain a correct sitting posture to ensure both driver comfort and safety. We also take this opportunity to examine what further improvements we need to make in terms of driving seats.
1. Seat adjustment
Adjusting the seat includes the front and rear distance and the tilt angle of the seat back. Some high configuration vehicles also add seat height adjustment. Driver friends need to adjust the appropriate seat position based on their own situation due to differences in height and body type. The correct and optimal seat position is when the right foot presses the accelerator and brake pedals, the legs will naturally bend slightly. If the seat is too far back, the legs need to be fully straightened, which can affect operation. If the seat is too far forward, the legs will bend excessively, and the steering wheel, etc., will interfere with driving flexibility and also affect control.
Regarding the reclining angle of the seat back, it is also important to ensure the comfort of the driver, but here, the most taboo posture is lying down driving. Although it can be very comfortable, it can affect the vision. A slight reclining angle of about 10 degrees is more appropriate.
2. Correction of steering wheel
We have already introduced the correct posture for controlling the steering wheel, which is to hold our hands at the positions of 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock on the steering wheel. At this time, our arms should be kept slightly bent and relaxed. The requirement for the steering wheel angle is that it not only allows the arms to find a comfortable state, but also does not affect the visibility of various data on the dashboard.
In addition, when holding the steering wheel with both hands, the thumb should be placed on the outer edge of the steering wheel, which will increase the flexibility of control and avoid the problem of fingers getting stuck.
3. Fastening method of safety belt
The importance of wearing a seat belt when driving a car is a commonplace, and there is no need to emphasize it again. The editor just wants to tell everyone how to wear a seat belt correctly.
Some overweight driver friends may think that wearing a seat belt is a very restrictive thing, and sometimes it can be very uncomfortable to hold onto the stomach, which can only indicate that such driver friends have misconceptions about how to wear a seat belt. The correct method of fastening is to take it from the shoulder and pass it through the front of the chest, while the other side of the belt passes under the crotch and waist. The safety belt should not be tied to the stomach, but should be tied to the root of the thigh, so as to ensure that in case of an emergency, the person will be firmly tied to the seat without being ejected by the impact force.
