Moved seat - much smoother driving

[V8S]

I've never been able to get a comfortable position in the Honda saloon (whereas I can in the Tiv) where I can reach the pedals and not have my nose in the steering wheel, nor get back ache or have my elbows bent too much. I'm not a short arse but I've tended to put the seat forward enough so that I'm not extending too much to use the pedals.

But last night I achieved a much more comfortable position by moving the seat back so that my left leg is now extended almost fully when operating the clutch pedal.

It's amazing how much this made a difference to the smoothness, relaxedness and confidence of my driving now. My arms can now give much more precise movements of the wheel and gearchanges don't seem so hurried.

Is setting up of the driving position part of advanced courses? It seems to make a huge difference if you get it right.
