Make sure you set up a good driving posture before starting up your drive. It is quite true that you can only alter seatback angle and distance from the pedals in your old and cheap cars but trust me; even these minor things can make a big difference in avoiding any kind of body pain by improving your seat posture.

Do you know that comfort plays as much as important role as the fuel of your vehicle? So spend a good amount of time in checking out the most comfortable position that would suit you while driving. Remember lesser amount of vibrations lead to less stress on your body thus avoiding any kind of pain and discomfort.

Sit at the perfect distance from the wheel. Remember that if you sit too close, it would increase the chances of injuries if any mis-happening takes place. Also if you sit too far, you won’t be able to make sudden changes in direction thus fail to avoid an accident.

Avoid sitting close or hunching over the steering wheel. Keep in mind that if your spine is curved then you are sitting in a wrong position.

Remember that headrest isn’t meant for your head but it is designed to protect your neck getting damaged in case of accidents. Despite this fact, many drivers leave headrest in factory thinking it of no or little use.

If you are already tired and worn-out, don’t take up drive. Instead rest and then start your drive afresh.
