The only way that could be possible is if your sitting way too close to the wheel.

I see it a lot with women. They sit with their chest basically touching the wheel.

Ideally you want to sit as far back as possible. Slight bend in your elbow. The further away from the wheel you are the greater the chance you will survive a serious incident.

Well, it's not like I need to actually reach the gas or the brake. How about manufacturers stop making everything designed for an idealized male body instead.

That's a good point.

However you probably find men buy and drive most cars a lot more than women. So they set up the car for the majority customer and the wife just has to make do.

I sit WAYYY far back. Probably too far, but I like to recline.
