Question Driving position of Hot Hatch owners.....

This may have been mentioned before so pardon me if it has...
I've noticed many drivers, in particular younger male nova/saxo type drive whilst appearing to be sat in the most awkward position. Their heads and upper body are almost in line with the centre of their car giving the impression that they're sat on their gear sticks rather than in their seats!
Joking apart, the left-hand seat bolsters must get worn away quickly. These people also tend to have one arm stretched straight across the top of the steering wheel appearing to only lean on the wheel rather than hold it!
Anyone else noticed this odd behaviour?

Yeah I love em. Always crack me up especially the ones that have lowered their seats so they can barely see over the wheel!! What a cool look resembling a child or old codger driving

In wanting to defend my position as a Saxo owner, and a boy, i sit with the back up straight, med/back with the seat base, leaving my back flat against the seat and my arms kinked in a racing type position which is great when over taking nova's who have to move their hole body to turn the wheel !! - LOL

Seat right back but sat forward on edge of seat. Right hand across body on left hand side of steering wheel. Angry, thoughtful look on face, nodding head slightly.

Clueless.
