I am Just about 5’ and when driving can’t see the bonnet of my small car so have been looking for something to raise me up a few inches but finding nothing suitable.
A child’s booster seat would be perfect though might be a bit hard, but my haunches need more width.
Can anyone suggest anything ? I can’t be the only short gran , what do others do?

Silverling, have you tried any of the mobility aid shops? You can't be the only driver to experience this problem. Good luck!

I considered getting a booster cushion from Halfords for my latest car but only because I thought it would help me get in and out of the car more easily after hip surgery. I am five feet tall have the seat as high as it will go and don’t have any problems with all round vision. I drive a Mini. Once I was allowed to drive again I found I didn’t need a booster cushion (though it might smooth out some of the bumps! The suspension rattles your teeth at times!).
