Question 5665
Is driving very close to the steering wheel safer?
- It is just a matter of habit.
- No, because movements become too forced and less quick.
- Yes, because movements are more precise with the controls closer.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because movements become too forced and less quick.
No. Sitting very close to the steering wheel leaves you hunched up, making your movements strained and slower and tiring you out sooner. Having the controls closer does not make you more precise. In the image, the driver is leaning toward the steering wheel with his arms sharply bent.
