Tips for short people to drive safely and comfortably

1. Choose the right vehicle

This is the most important factor, especially for people with short stature, when buying a car... According to the experience of car experts, you should choose a car with a compact size. This type of car is designed to fit the distance between the seat and the steering wheel, helping short people have the best and safest vision, feeling more comfortable when driving.

2. Raise the driver's seat

Many short people often worry about limited vision when driving. To overcome this, you can choose a seat cushion to improve your vision, observe more widely and avoid having to reach for the steering wheel.

However, it is important to note that the installation of a seat cushion must be carefully checked, from the choice of material to the design to avoid discomfort when driving. The cushion must be placed firmly and securely to avoid slipping while driving.

3. Install additional pedals on the accelerator and brake

“Short legs” make it difficult for you to steer, see as well as reach the gas and brake pedals of the car. In this case, as soon as you receive the car, you should spend a lot of money to buy an additional pedal extension to overcome that disadvantage. They will help a lot in controlling the car. You should choose a pedal with the right size and moderate length for easy operation.

4. Find your blind spots

Knowing your blind spots is important when you drive. To check, simply ask a friend to walk around the car. Watch them until they can barely see below their knees, then ask them to mark the blind spot. Repeat the process for the other blind spots. This is how you determine your vision limitations.
