What position should hands be on steering?

What position should hands be on steering?

Hand-To-Hand Steering NHTSA recommends the driver use the area of the steering wheel area between 11 and 8 o’clock with their left and the 1 and 8 o’clock area with their right, regardless of which way they’re turning. Using the hand-to-hand or push/pull steering method helps prevent injuries.

Do you hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3?

Traffic safety officials now recommend that drivers should hold the steering wheel at the 9 and 3 position. The reason traffic safety officials no longer recommend the 10 and 2 position is that this steering position can be dangerous in cars that have air bags and smaller steering columns.

Should your hands be at 8 and 4?

Keep your hands at opposite sides of the steering wheel. Imagine that the steering wheel is a clock. The most effective positions for your hands are at 8 and 4 o’clock.
