Answer: B — To ensure maximum visibility and comfort while driving

Adjusting your seats and mirrors before driving is crucial for ensuring maximum visibility and comfort while operating the vehicle. Proper seat adjustment allows you to reach the pedals comfortably without straining, which helps maintain control of the vehicle. It also places you at the right height to see the road and surroundings clearly. Similarly, properly adjusted mirrors are essential for eliminating blind spots and providing a clear view of the vehicles and obstacles around you. This combination of visibility and comfort contributes significantly to overall safety while driving, allowing you to react appropriately to changing conditions on the road. Therefore, prioritizing adjustments for both comfort and visibility is essential for any driver.
