Discomfort estimates were achieved by self-administered questionnaire, OWAS, RULA awd CORLETT tests and goninmetry of important angles. The geographic area surveyed was Slovenia and Czech Republic. Data from n total of 200 non-professional drivers who fulfilled the cfuestionnaire was analysed. 118 subjects of them were analysed by goniometry and 30 drivers were assessed with different tests as OWAS, RULA and CORLETT. Results suggest that different levels of human discomfort are perceived in different body regions when driving cars.
