Sitting properly and comfortably in the driver's seat is an important part of car safety. A seat that doesn't offer enough leg room or back support, or a seat that sits at the wrong height, can cause poor posture, discomfort, and a lack of control—all of which increase the likelihood of an accident on the road.

'Driver's Seat' is a 1978 song by the British band Sniff 'n' the Tears that appears on their debut album, Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder as 'Driver's Seat' was their only hit.

The genesis of the song dates back to 1973 and a demo tape recorded for a French record label by singer/guitarist Paul Roberts for the band Ashes of Moon. However, that band broke up and, at the suggestion of drummer Luigi Salvoni, Roberts re-formed it as Sniff 'n' the Tears with guitarists Laurence 'Loz' Netto and Mick Dyche and bassist Chris Birkin. They shopped the demo tape and signed with the small Chiswick label in 1977. Keith Miller played the Moog solo and also toured America with the band.

According to Paul Roberts, 'Driver's Seat' isn't about driving, but rather 'fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow the break-up of a relationship'. One of the key decisions in arranging the song was to start with drums and progressively introduce other instruments.^[3]

'Driver's Seat' reached number 15 on the AmericanBillboard Pop Singles chart^[4] in the fall of 1979, and reached the top 10 (four) in The Netherlands in November 1980.

A 12' version was released on A Best Of Sniff 'n' the Tears in 1991. The song appeared at number 1 on the Dutch Top 40 chart that same year as a result of its use in a Pioneer commercial.
