    You shouldn’t be pushing against it, but you shouldn’t be that far away from it either to prevent whip lash.

    Any normal headrest can be angled almost vertically so it’s not like OPs picture. I wonder if op just doesn’t realize you can tilt them further forward and reset them.

      OP is making a joke, I’m sure they’re aware headrests move and none actually look like the post lol.

        They are not joking, and some cars cannot adjust the angle or lateral position of the headrest without replacement. There are cars (like 2009 Lincoln MKZs, cough) that have headrests and seats that look and feel exactly like the image.

        I owned one for about 3 years, and I still blame it for starting my weird neck/shoulder problems years later.

          True some can’t adjust the angle, but obviously none of them protrude the ridiculous amount shown in the post.

          I’m not sure how this isn’t a joke, clearly it’s a riff on how headrests can be weirdly uncomfortable at times. Anyways, if you’re chilling with your head against that the whole time you’re driving you’re not doing it right.

            The image exists for illustration and emphasis. It’s an exaggeration, it doesn’t make the issue not real. Perhaps your particular morphology (occipital prominence) shields you from the discomfort some of us experience, but I can assure you it is a problem, to the extent that I sometimes remove the headrest entirely because it is so absurdly tilted (in some cars).
