Let’s face it, not everyone has a voluptuous model figure and legs that go on for miles like Heidi Klum does. In fact, many people have short legs and many more have issues with their size and weight. Unfortunately, size can be a problem for people who are in the driver’s seat of their car because it may hinder your ability to reach the foot pedals of the car or just make you generally feel uncomfortable behind the wheel. Your knees could be knocking on the underside of the steering column, you may be trying to stretch yourself both ways to reach the pedals and still be able to see over the dashboard, or you can pull your seat so close to the steering wheel that’s practically growing out of your chest, and that just won’t do. One solution to this size issue is finding the right adjustable automobile pedal extensions that will work for both you and your car.
But where can you find such a thing? The first place to look is online. Try searching the Internet for car pedal extensions and you’ll surely find a number of resources on the subject as well as places that sell the item. It may be a good idea to look through some car-oriented blogs and forums and study up on the best pedal extensions for your car’s make and model. Ask questions if necessary. Look through the pictures and read the testimonials. Many car manufacturers offer products such as these for their own line of cars, although there are also many aftermarket pedal extensions available for purchase. Most online sellers will also ship the item straight to your home, and you can either install it on your own or take it to your mechanic.
Speaking of your mechanic, he or she is the next person to ask about this kind of modification to your car. Your local auto body shop will undoubtedly have experience installing and fitting car pedal extensions and will be able to direct you to which product will suit your needs best. In fact, many auto shops have these items in stock, so you can purchase the item and they will install the pedal extensions all in one visit. No muss, no fuss. You get to drive away with a more comfortable driving experience ahead of you.
But wait, aside from comfort, why is it so important that you keep a distance between yourself and your steering wheel, you may ask. Well, according to many car safety experts, you should keep a distance of about 10-12 inches between you and your airbag, to ensure that you sustain limited to no damage from its deployment in case of an accident. And where is this airbag located – in your steering column. So, to avoid injury, and achieve a better driving experience, explore the possibilities of adjustable automobile pedal extensions for your car today.
