You should be comfortable when you drive, but you should not recline. If you like to have your seat back from the steering wheel, that's OK, but you should be sure your posture is safe. Air bags have warnings to tell us to be far back from the steering wheel so the air bag does not slam you if it deploys. So in that way, your posture is good.

I am worried that you cannot reach the brake pedal if you are so far back. You need to be able to find the brake pedal and push the brake without reaching with your toes! Also, you may find that you cannot steer well in an emergency situation if your arms are extended straight out in front of you.

Please try to learn to move forward a bit. Your self-imposed limitation is really not productive unless there is a reason for it. (like you have an amputation or are extremely short) I teach beginner drivers to bend arms at elbow and hold the bottom of the steering wheel with knuckles on the outside of the wheel. Or you can hold the top of the wheel in 10 and 2 hand position, but that's old school.

To be honest, your posture kind of scares me. I picture your mirrors out of whack, your feet unable to find the brake in an emergency, and your steering awkward and rough. I am concerned about your ability to practice good observation when changing lanes or reversing.

Your posture is not necessarily wrong, but if it compromises your safety, you should watch other drivers and copy the safest person you know.

You will be driving for decades, so it's a good idea to change this right away, before it is an unbreakable habit.

As long is you can operate the car then you should be okay.

You must be able to have enough length to push down the gas and brake pedals.

If your hands and legs are straight and barely touching the gas or brake pedal then it is dangerous. What if you need to stop?

Can you fully depress the brakes ? If you can operate the car to it's full minimum and maximum with your legs and hands straight, then go ahead....if you can't then it's bad.

Whatever the position is that makes you feel comfy and drive that car/truck safely is the best one for you to be in! Everyone has their own way-mine have to be bent.

you are normal, this is your driving position appetite,
I like the seat all the way back with one hand on the bottom of the wheel and other hand on my shifter,
