Before starting to drive, it's essential to check the following things from the driving seat:
1. Seat Position: Adjust your seat so you can comfortably reach the pedals and steering wheel.
2. Mirrors: Adjust the rearview and side mirrors for optimal visibility.
3. Seatbelt: Ensure you and all passengers have fastened seatbelts.
4. Steering Wheel: Make sure the steering wheel is at a comfortable height and position.
5. Pedals: Check the position of the clutch, brake, and accelerator, and ensure they're easily reachable.
6. Dashboard: Look for any warning lights or signs on the dashboard.
7. Parking Brake: Ensure the parking brake is disengaged before driving.
8. Gear Shift: Check if the car is in the correct gear (neutral for manual, park for automatic).
9. Doors: Ensure all doors are properly closed.
10. Lights and Indicators: Ensure that headlights, indicators, and other lights are working.
These steps ensure safety and comfort before you start driving.
