When adjusting the driver's seat, how far should your body be from the steering wheel for best driving posture?

For optimal driving posture, your body should be positioned about 10 to 12 inches away from the steering wheel. This distance allows for a comfortable grip on the wheel while maintaining good visibility and control of the vehicle. Being too close can increase the risk of injury if the airbag deploys during a collision, as it may cause the airbag to hit you with too much force. Conversely, being too far away can hinder your ability to steer accurately and react swiftly to potential hazards. The 10 to 12-inch range strikes a balance that promotes safety and effective vehicle operation.
