Driving Position

[oj88]

I tired lowering the seat tapos moved it back.

wife said parang ang liit ko sa loob (light lang tint ko)

You're doing the opposite. Raise it up and you will be able to see more.

yes, you're doing it the opposite.
lowering one's driving position will diminish one's outlook in life. it also tends to claustrophobize the driver.
raise the seat, sir!

I'm 5'6" driving a Mobilio. Walang height adjustment ang upuan. Hindi ko kita ang hood ko. Tanchameter lang gamit ko kung gano kalapit na ko sa harap ko.

Congrats ice15! Anong MPV ito?

Ako mas prefer ko kita kanto ng hood.
Hhmmm... driving position na hindi kita ang hood ng Tamaraw FX? Alala ko dati mataas seat nito at kitang kita ang hood. Unless long legged siguro at malayo ang upuan.

When we got a 1992 Nissan Sentra ECCS SS, it was the first car we ever owned with a sloping bonnet that was below your field of view. Tanging yung corner markers lang ang visible to help you gauge where the corners are.

For the Gen Z and later generations, these are what I am referring to... ;)

yup, same here, I can't remember if I was driving with the hood in dight before but I definitely remember that when I got the Civic FB, talagang wala kang hood na makikita dahil sa design ng dash nya and while it can be solved by pushing the seat sagad pataas. it doesn't feel comfortable nsman na malapit uli ko sa ceiling. So I learned to adapt and now sanay na ako maski pumina pa sa objects. Kaso when we got the Territory, na bobo ako sa tanchahan sa parking paatras.

I was gonna mention nga when I test drove the FD, I couldn't see the hood kahit silipin ko. It was designed that way pala. I didn't know ganun din pala sa FB

it is getting more and more difficult to estimate the space between my front and the vehicle in front, because of today's cars' sloping fronts. using the headlights helps.
sigh.

Oh, the Civic FD was a doozy.... but it didn't take long to get used to the invisible hood.

I will still argue that it's always better for the driver to have the highest vantage point that is practical for any vehicle. Almost all obstacles are at or below line of sight, so the higher your sit, you are likely to have better 360-degree visibility and situational awareness.
