Repetitive driving injuries
New research has shown that many drivers risk long term muscle, joint and spinal problems because they don't adjust their car seat to the optimum position.

According to the new study by eBayMotors.co.uk, the five most common repetitive driving injuries are foot cramp (suffered by 81% of the UK), lumbar pain (74%), stiff neck (74%), side ache (74%), and headache/eye strain (73%). Almost two million British drivers (6.5%) start to suffer from these after just fifteen minutes driving with 9% of drivers experiencing symptoms after driving just 22 miles.

Charlie Coney of eBayMotors.co.uk comments "Despite eight out of ten drivers having suffered from RDI's, only one in five (21%) consider car comfort an important factor when purchasing a car. Choosing the car best suited to their driving style should be an increased priority for all car buyers to avoid these symptoms."

The advice given to motorists is to relax and avoid getting into road rage situations. Secondly, choose a car that has a fully adjustable seat and steering wheel. If you can't buy a new car then make sure that you check your seat is at a safe and comfortable distance from the pedals and that you don't have to strain any part of your body.
