Yesterday your partner drove your own car. Today you get in for a short trip through Eindhoven. What belongs to your check before setting off? (multiple answers possible)
- ✓ Setting the headrest so it sits right behind your head
- Leaving the seatbelt off, because you are not going on the motorway
- Adjusting nothing: it is your own car, so everything is already right
- ✓ Checking seat, headrest, steering wheel and mirrors and adjusting them if needed
Correct answer: Setting the headrest so it sits right behind your head; Checking seat, headrest, steering wheel and mirrors and adjusting them if needed
