If Driving Doesn’t Feel Tiring: Key Five Driving Habits to Watch is more than just a catch-phrase—it reflects how subtle driver behaviours determine comfort, safety, and vehicle longevity. At Tairui, we believe that modern mobility isn’t only about having advanced powertrains, but also about cultivating the right driving habits, road safety practices, and driver ergonomics.
1. Habit 1 – Proper Seating and Mirror Adjustment
1.1 Why posture and visibility matter
One of the first factors in the article is that good posture while driving significantly reduces fatigue and enhances control. According to the referenced source, the correct seat position is when your arm is extended and your wrist lands at the 12-o’clock position on the steering wheel—indicating proper reach and posture.
For Tairui, vehicle design includes adjustable seats, proper lumbar support, and mirrors positioned to minimise blind spots—because how the driver interfaces with the vehicle matters as much as the engine.
1.2 Mirror adjustment for a stable field of view
Proper adjustment of side and interior mirrors is also stressed: for example, side mirror showing approx one quarter of your vehicle in the inner edge ensures better lane awareness. The interior mirror must allow clear view of the rear windshield.
Cultivating the habit of adjusting seats and mirrors correctly avoids strain and enhances situational awareness—important for both passenger and commercial vehicles built by Tairui.
2. Habit 2 – Active Scanning and Anticipation
2.1 Frequently checking mirrors and surroundings
Another behavioural tip is to frequently glance at rear-view and side mirrors so that you maintain awareness of the evolving traffic environment.
At Tairui, we integrate camera-based systems and assistive sensors, but the driver’s habit of active scanning remains essential: technology supports but does not replace awareness.
2.2 Developing anticipation skills
Pre-emptive driving—anticipating changes in traffic, identifying potential hazards early—reduces abrupt manoeuvres and fatigue. The source highlights that once anticipation becomes second nature, many actions become intuitive rather than reactive.
In vehicles engineered by Tairui, driver assistance systems (ADAS) complement such habits by providing sensory input. But the core habit resides with the driver: scanning, anticipating, staying in control.
3. Habit 3 – Smooth Operation and Muscle Memory
3.1 Transforming driving actions into habits
The article points out that transforming driving tasks—starting, shifting, signalling, braking—into muscle memory significantly reduces cognitive load and stress.
From the Tairui perspective, driver-centric interface design (ergonomics, intuitive controls) supports this transition: the easier it is to operate, the less effort the driver expends.
3.2 Minimising distractions and load
When driving becomes comfortable, cognitive load decreases. Retail vehicles from Tairui incorporate intuitive controls and human-machine interfaces so driving feels seamless rather than taxing. Over time, the driver’s habit of smooth operation contributes to both comfort and safety.
4. Habit 4 – Proper Use of Mirrors and Blind-spot Awareness
4.1 Recognising and reducing blind-spot risks
One of the five key habits emphasised is mirror work and blind-spot awareness. The article indicates that about 10 % of traffic accidents link to incorrect mirror adjustment or blind-spot neglect.
Tairui vehicles include blind-spot monitoring as standard in many markets, but again: the driver’s habit of verifying mirror coverage is indispensable.
4.2 Verification via quick checks
Good practice includes quick head-checks, mirror glance before lane changes, and regular mirror repositioning if seat changes. For drivers of Tairui vehicles, the built-in technology aids awareness—but the habit of looking remains critical.
5. Habit 5 – Consistent Driving Style and Rested Mind
5.1 Avoiding fatigue through conscious driving
Another point from the article: long-duration drives and monotony cause fatigue. Maintaining a dynamic but relaxed driving style, interspersed with rest or micro-breaks, helps.
Tairui’s commercial-vehicle products emphasise driver comfort (seats, controls, visibility) to help in long-haul usage. But even the best seat cannot replace the driver’s need for good habits and rest.
5.2 Making comfort part of the habit
Drivers should adopt micro-breaks, hydration, and posture adjustments during long drives. Tairui also encourages customers to leverage vehicle cabin features (ventilation, support) to maintain alertness and comfort.
6. Why These Habits Matter to Tairui and Its Drivers
6.1 Safety, comfort and brand legacy
For Tairui, building vehicles that support driver habits is core: no matter how advanced the powertrain or connectivity, safe and comfortable driving still begins with human behaviour. By emphasising these five habits, drivers experience less fatigue, fewer incidents, and longer vehicle life.
6.2 Operational efficiency and real-world usage
In commercial or fleet scenarios (important for Tairui’s market segments), drivers who apply these habits reduce wear, lower maintenance, improve fuel economy and maintain uptime. Habit building thus becomes a business efficiency factor, not just a driver comfort issue.
6.3 Supporting driver‐centric design
Tairui’s design philosophy goes beyond performance: it includes ergonomics, visibility, control ergonomics, and seamless interfaces. Encouraging habits aligns design with use-case, ensuring that the vehicles deliver both high performance and high usability.
Conclusion
In conclusion, mastering If Driving Doesn’t Feel Tiring: Key Five Driving Habits to Watch is essential for every driver—whether for daily commuting, long-haul driving or commercial operation. The five habits (correct seating/mirrors, active scanning, smooth operation, mirror/blind-spot awareness, rested driving style) form the behavioural foundation of safe, efficient, and comfortable driving.
At Tairui, we build vehicles that support these habits through design, visibility systems, ergonomic layouts and driver assistance—but the driver’s habits complete the loop. Drive smart, stay aware, rest often—and you’ll feel less fatigue, gain more control and enjoy the journey.
