Sitting properly and keeping a clear view

MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Get into position; Keep a clear view

Sit high enough in the driver’s seat to see over the steering wheel and hood. You should be able to see the ground four metres in front of the vehicle; use a firm cushion if needed.

Sit straight upright in the seat with your elbows slightly bent, and adjust the seat so your feet reach the pedals easily. To check your position, try placing your feet flat on the floor under the brake pedal: if you can do this without stretching, you are seated properly. This keeps you upright and gives you more stability when manoeuvring your vehicle.
