After taking your seat in the driving seat, adjust and check the seat, that it is comfortable for your legs to reach the controls if it is not so; adjust the seat in order to reach the controls with the right way.

You must check the seatbelt in order to check the comfortability, sometimes it can create rashes on neck line.

Mirrors of the vehicle must be maintained every time when entering the vehicle, tilting the mirror helps to clearly see the back windshield.

The side mirrors should also be checked in order to check the area surrounding the vehicle.

Take a thorough knowledge of how to stop, turn and transmission of the vehicle.

You should perform these functions in order to get familiar with controls of the vehicle.

Distractions are a major problem which avoids proper concentration on the activity.

Select a proper footwear, in which you are comfortable yourself.

There are cases when, people find it difficult to take foot back as the heels of shoes or sandals get stuck in an area between the clutch and floor of the car.

The seat height must also be adjusted according to your physical conditions, You should be able to see a clear and perfect view of the dashboard and the front section of the car and have a proper height ratio with the pedals.

There should be no object around the driver’s seat, because of the possibility of slipping down of the object below the controls.

It can make it impossible to apply the brake if something slips between the space of brake and floor of the car.
