To short to drive ?
#11
My ex was 5ft and had no problems
hang the wife by her fingers in a door way and tie a 56lb weight to each foot for a few hours a day!
Joking aside, height is not always directly the problems with this, its things like leg length vis a v body length, the persons driving style, arm position and angle etc etc, so not a straight forward calculation.
Some people sit squashed right up to the wheel others straight arm etc etc, I remember years ago Gerry Marshal who used to drive touring cars with the wheel tight up to his chest. and I know of a guy now who drives like that, My Wife at 5' 6" site generally further from the wheel than i do at 5' 9" and she has just been told that that straight arm driving style is not helping her back problems.
