Let’s check your driving posture before starting your journey
Updated: Oct 16, 2023
After checking the style of our driving position that we may have become accustomed to, today we have 6 steps to ensure the right driving posture. Let’s share this information with friends so everyone can adjust their driving postition correctly, promoting healthy driving habits
1. Adjust the Distance Just Right: Finding Your Ideal Driving Posture
Finding the perfect balance between your seat and steering wheel. Your legs should comfortably reach the brake and accelerator pedals without stretching. Your knees and feet shouldn't be overly tense. If you're unsure how to measure this, AirLumba suggests trying this handy trick: place your wrist on top of the steering wheel, and adjust your seat until your arm forms a right angle. Notice how your knees aren't strained, and when you lower your arm, you can comfortably grip the middle of the steering wheel without feeling tense in your shoulders.
2. Adjust the Seat and Lean Slightly: Finding the Right Angle for Comfort
Once you've set the distance, tilt your seat back slightly at an angle of around 110 degrees. Ensure your lower back touches the seatback, but don't sit too upright. Your shoulders shouldn't be stiff, and your head shouldn't tilt or lean too far forward. This position allows for a clear view of the road ahead and ensures safe steering wheel control.
3. Choosing the Right Dynamic Back Support for Your Comfort
Car seats are designed following ergonomic standards, but everyone's back has unique curves. Therefore, many individuals seek products to support their backs while driving.
AirLumba offers the following tips for selecting a suitable product:
1. Easy Installation: Choose a product that is easy to install and made from materials that are safe for your spine.
2. Reliable Certification: choose products with trustworthy certifications.
3. Universal Fit: Look for supports compatible with all back types, genders, and ages.
4. Durability: Select a product with a long lifespan to ensure lasting use.
5. Health and Environment: Ensure the product is free from harmful substances, both for your health and the environment.
4. Adjust Seat Height for the Perfect Fit and Clear Vision
Once you've determined the right distance and support, the seat height and steering wheel level must also be appropriate. This means the steering wheel shouldn't obstruct your knees or impede your visibility while driving. Your knee level should be slightly below your hips to facilitate blood circulation in the hips and legs. When you move your legs, you shouldn't feel overly tense. While driving, your heels should lightly touch the floor, allowing for comfortable placement when you stop. The ideal measurements ensure your body remains relaxed and flexible while driving.
5. Grip the Steering Wheel Right
A broad, relaxed hand position at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions is ideal for driving. This grip offers optimal control, allowing easy steering without causing shoulder or neck strain. Slightly bent arms, matching the appropriate distance, help alleviate discomfort in the arm area. This grip technique remains effective even in traffic jams or during long drives.
6. Adjusting Headrest Height and Tilt
Since the headrest designs in different car models vary, it's crucial to find the right height and angle. When adjusted correctly, the chin should be slightly raised or lowered, allowing a clear view of the road ahead. The headrest provides support for the neck bones and shoulders, helping to reduce impact during sudden braking or emergencies while driving.
