About women driving large vehicles

There is something I have been thinking about for a long time and have written about briefly once on this blog. It is."The problem of the low seat height of madams (women) driving large vehicles."The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
Maybe I'm not adjusting the seat properly, but usually only the top half of my face is visible. So you might think, "What? A child is driving? or even if the car is unmanned and driving automatically (laugh), you can't see them.

Specifically, the image is like this.

(I looked for an image, but of course there is no such image, so I made one lol)

I sometimes wonder if this is as good as it should be.

(This may be too high for the seat...)

I told that to my husband before.

I know, I know, but I'm in the same situation.

They said.

Seriously? (*_*)

As for me, I thought I had no problem at all with forward visibility and was able to drive with a decent seat position, but as usual, I was told that I was like a madam buried from halfway down my face.

Since then, I started to look into the driving position, and if the driving position is wrongHow dangerous it can be to drive, and the importance of properly adjusting the seat position."I noticed that the

So today I would like to share with you a video that my husband showed me at that time and that I found helpful.

Driving position taught by a professional racing driver.

Today we present.A video on Porsche's official youtube about correct seating position and proper steering position.This is the driving position when driving a 911R, so the seats may be lower than in a normal car...but I think you are talking about a basic point that is important when driving any car.

I'm giving an explanation in this video.Patrick Long is a professional racing driver and Porsche works driver.

.... I mean, this Patrick Long is the same age as me! (Oops!)!

I thought he was older. I guess people who are active in the world have a different aura and dignity...well, I don't care about that.

At the beginning of the video, Patrick Long saysIt is important to set the optimum driving position before starting the engine.He says it is. It is fundamental to driving to be in the optimal position to be able to control the car well at all times.

Driving Position Confirmation (1) to (3)

(1) Extend the arms and check that the wrists are at the top of the steering wheel.

Perhaps, in the case of the deeply sunken madam (female) mentioned at the beginning of this article, you would have to raise your hand much higher to bring your wrist to this position on the handlebars. The height of the seat position should be adjusted so that the wrists can be placed in that position.

By the way, I just adjusted the seat to that position.What?" You drive this high!"I was surprised to see how high it went. On the other hand, I guess I was still sinking too low. w

(2) Check if the pedals can be pressed without problems

Whether or not the clutch and accelerator pedal can be pressed down firmly and deeply while the knees are naturally bent.The seat should not be too tight or too bent at the knees. So, if your knees are too bent or too tight, or if the seat is too far back and your feet are sticking out when you pedal, it's no good.

(3) Check handle position (up/down, front/rear)

When you hold the handle with both hands and turn the handle as far as it will go.Ensure that both shoulders are clear of the seat and that there is enough room between the knees and the handlebars.If the handlebars are too tight, adjust the handlebar position so that both shoulders are off the seat. At this time, if both shoulders are too far from the seat, or if there is no clearance between the knees and the seat, or if the seat is too tight to operate, adjust the handle position to prevent this from happening.
