Why don't cars have the driver's seat in the middle

Luis · April 27, 2015, 03:51:29 PM

It seems easier to drive with, the only car I know that had it was the F1.

It's something to do with orienting yourself on roads I think.

so you don't have to simulate traveling up the birth canal to get into the car

jews invented spark plugs to control global traffic

for the exact same reason bikers take an agressive driving position on the inner side of the road, visibility.

Less passenger seats seems like a downside.

Luke · April 27, 2015, 04:16:36 PM

Because I need more than one seat in my car when i take you out.

I've never been as scared in my life as I was in a cherokee with a pilot attempting his first right seat landing from too high an altitude because the even more inexperienced left seat dun fucked up.

I'll never forget my first 172 landing.

Well if you get hit and you're in the middle, you're fucked
If you're to one side and they hit the other side, it'd be less of an impact to you

Plus it's easier to get in the car

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · April 27, 2015, 05:33:17 PM

um because more seats

also being in the middle means two larger blind spots

Scare yourself pretty good?

Significantly reduced visibility if you're in the middle and the position of the headlights in cars is why drivers seats aren't in the middle.

I didn't know the slightest of bounces were that terrible.
