When you see a woman driving a large sedan from the opposite lane, it\u2019s not unusual to see little more than her head above the steering wheel. Her upper body is often almost completely hidden behind it.<\/strong> Sometimes she\u2019s so hard to see that you might wonder, \u201cWait\u2014is a child driving?\u201d But can she really see the road properly from that position?<\/p>\n One day, I asked my husband, \u201cWhy do women driving large sedans<\/strong> sit so low, almost sunk into the seat?<\/strong> Can they actually see where they\u2019re going?\u201d<\/strong> His reply was:<\/p>\n You\u2019re right\u2014but you\u2019re sitting low and slouched, too, even while you\u2019re acting all high and mighty.<\/p>\n …Wait, what?!\u30fd(\uff9f\u0414\uff9f )\uff01\uff1f<\/span><\/p>\n I insisted, \u201cN-no, I can see just fine, and I\u2019m not slouched down!<\/strong>\u201d But apparently, like the other ladies, all you could see of me was my face. Then he added:<\/p>\n I bet most women driving large sedans just adjust the seat forward or back after their husbands have driven. But that\u2019s not enough. You also need to adjust the seat height and the steering wheel\u2019s reach. If you don\u2019t know how to find the right driving position, you\u2019re putting yourself in real danger.<\/p>\n \u2026Driving position? I\u2019d never even thought about it.<\/p>\n Then one day, I took the time to adjust my seat properly and realized I\u2019d been driving hunched forward, almost sunk into the seat. Raising the seat gave me a much better view of the road and made the car significantly easier to drive.<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t quite like sitting up in a Cayenne or Macan, of course, but I felt as though I was driving a car with a slightly higher ride height.<\/p>\n This video explains the fundamentals of a proper driving position in a clear, detailed way.<\/p>\nWhat Is the Correct Driving Position?<\/h3>\n
