Explanation
For safe driving, the Virginia Driver's Manual recommends that you place your left hand at the 8 o?clock position and your right hand at the 4 o?clock position. (Note: Years ago, the recommended positions were 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. But those positions can be dangerous in modern cars that are equipped with airbags. The driver's airbag deploys out of the steering wheel at very high speed. If your hands are high on the steering wheel, the deploying airbag might drive your hands into your face or even injure your hands.)
