Seating Posture

[TurboDewd]

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that you should be able to comfortably place your wrist on the top of the steering wheel without leaning forward.

How vertical should the backrest be? How should the base be tilted?

Surely theres a "better" way to sit rather than just what feels best. Anyone got any ideas?

Hmm, I found a few just then, some ppl may find these helpful:

Might hop in the T shortly and fiddle about...with my seating position that is

Turbodewd, basically that is correct with a comfortable but slight bend in your knees. Your elbows should also be bent as so you have full control of the steering wheel. Basically what the link says.

By the way the layed back past the pillar look (fully sick) is only for commodores, don't fall into that style Turbodewd :lol:

the links supplied by turboDewd are good ....

I'm tall and general find it hard to get comfortable in a car ... but I try hard to find that spot where I'm comfortable, relaxed and supported because when you find it you will have that little extra advantage that might save your life.....

it is worth to check your seating position after a long drive ... that one will usually be the most supportive

interesting to see people in their cars during peak hour traffic; sitting in the strangest positions :lol:

I may be able to help on this one. You should be sitting with the shoulders back against backrest and with your wrists on top of the wheel. This means with your hands on the wheel your arms are relaxed and bent. If you drive a manual, you should have a slight bend in the knee when you have the clutch pushed to the floor. In an auto same slight knee bend with left foot on the firewall. That should automatically put your seatback in right position. Hope this helps.

Best driving postion, eh?

Now, this is just my personal opinion, so to each his own, but I find:

On your knees, slightly apart.

Her on all-fours, knees slightly further apart than yours. Lowers back and provides better entry angle.

Her hair gathered up behind her head in a pony-tail. Hold on tight .. if she has short hair, one hand on her shoulder. Provides mechanism for pulling her back onto you, while driving forward into her.

Your other hand down underneath, caressing breast. Start with a little nipple tweaking.

Non-slip surface is a must, avoid friction burns.

...

DRIVE HER HOME!
