=== Position and support for the driver ===

* Having to withstand [[G-force|g forces]] in his/her arms interferes with a driver's precise steering. In a similar manner, a lack of support for the seating position of the driver may cause them to move around as the car undergoes rapid acceleration (through cornering, taking off or braking). This interferes with precise control inputs, making the car more difficult to control.
* Being able to reach the controls easily is also an important consideration,<ref name="Perel" /> especially if a car is being driven hard.
* In some circumstances, good support may allow a driver to retain some control, even after a minor accident or after the first stage of an accident.
