What should you do before starting to drive?

Before starting to drive, it is essential to check mirrors and adjust the driver's seat. This ensures that the driver has a clear view of their surroundings and can operate the vehicle safely. Proper seating position enhances comfort, control, and visibility, which are crucial for safe driving. The driver should be able to reach all controls easily and have a good sight line to both the front and rear of the vehicle.

While checking the fuel level, adjusting the radio, or cleaning the windshield may be relevant, these actions do not impact the immediate ability to drive safely. Ensuring that mirrors are correctly positioned and the seat is adjusted for optimal control priorities safety and preparedness over other concerns.
