Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. The driver's seat mounted too low.
Explanation
A driver's seat set too low or too high can restrict the field of view - answer A. A quarter of an hour's rest after two hours of driving (B) improves concentration, and sunglasses on a sunny day (C) protect your eyes from glare instead of restricting visibility.
If the seat is set too low, the bonnet hides part of the roadway in front of the car and you cannot see low obstacles or a child near the bumper; if it is set too high, the roof and the top edge of the windscreen cut off your view of traffic lights and signs above the road. The Road Traffic Act requires the driver to keep control of the vehicle, and without a good view this is impossible. Before driving, you adjust the seat so that a hand fits between your head and the roof, and your arms are slightly bent on the steering wheel.
