ABSTRACT:
The body of a vehicle has a floor and two sides, with a body longitudinal center line being defined midway between these two sides. A driver's seat is fixed to the floor on one side of this body longitudinal center line, and a front passenger's seat is fixed to the floor on the other side thereof. The approximate center of the driver's seat lies substantially closer to this body longitudinal center line than does the approximate center of the front passenger's seat. Thereby, more room is obtained for the driver, at the expense of somewhat diminishing the room available for the front passenger. Further, it becomes possible for the driver's seat directly to oppose the control pedals, without any slanting sitting attitude being required from the driver. Optionally, a hand brake lever and/or a transmission shift lever may be fitted approximately on the central line between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, and further optionally the central point between the inner ends of the sun visors for the driver and the front passenger may also lie approximately on the seat center line, at which seat center line further, optionally, the rear view mirror may be positioned. Thereby, the essential asymmetry of this passenger compartment arrangement may be effectively concealed from the beholder.
