Illustration of the correct sitting posture while driving, the best sitting posture and distance for driving With the holidays approaching, many friends are planning to travel by car to other places. Self-driving travel usually involves driving for a long time, and some car owners may experience backache, leg numbness, and neck pain after driving for only an hour or two. This is mainly caused by incorrect sitting posture while driving. So, let’s explain the best sitting position and distance when driving. To adjust the seat, we must first adjust the backrest so that the seat backrest is tilted at an angle of 100 to 120 degrees. This can reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine and make driving more comfortable. Next, adjust the headrest. The position of the headrest should be in the middle of the back of the head, and the contact position between the back of the head and the headrest should be slightly above eye level. When not leaning against the headrest, the distance between the headrest and the head should be as close as possible, about three fingers apart. To avoid waist fatigue while driving, adjust the lumbar support of the seat. Lumbar support refers to the lower part of the backrest, so that the lumbar support can wrap the waist well and completely fit the lumbar spine without leaving any gaps. The height of the seat should be adjusted so that the buttocks and knees are at the same level. Do not let the knees be higher than the buttocks. If you cannot see clearly in front of you, adjust the seat higher. Finally, adjust the front and rear position of the seat. When holding the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions of the steering wheel with both hands, the arms naturally bend at 120 degrees. Press the brake pedal with your right foot and bend your knees slightly. If your right foot is completely straight when the brakes are pressed to the bottom, you need to adjust the seat forward. If your legs are bent too much, you need to adjust the seat back. The correct posture of the right foot when driving should be to step on the brake and step on the accelerator diagonally. That means we need to fix the heel of our right foot in front of the brake pedal and use the heel as the axis to switch between accelerator and brake. The diagram is as follows: There is a scientific basis for placing the right foot in this way. Fix the right heel in front of the brake. When stepping on the accelerator, it will be a splayed foot. This is the natural posture of most people when standing. Just imagine, if we fix the heel in front of the accelerator, it will turn into a pigeon-toed posture when braking, which will cause inconvenient maneuvering.
