This ensures that you have good power on pedals, allows you to brace against dead pedal, and minimizes risk of injury if (god forbid) you crash. You should be close enough to steering wheel so that your wrist, when your shoulders are pressed firmly against seat, rests against top of steering wheel. This ensures that you don't have to lean forward out of seat in order to make aggressive or sudden turns, and minimizes the risk of injury in a crash.

Amazing peeps don't mention driving shoes or equivalent.

Worst feeling after an hour or more behind the wheel comes from dress shoes or ghetto/basketball sneakers with "real" heels. Ouch!

Driving shoes or some mind of minimals, please.

I just found which position was the most comfortable and saved it as #1 in the seat memory. Good points in the video but if you're not comfortable what good is it.

I do it most of the times, except on straight boring roads
