When driving a vehicle equipped with airbags, you should keep your hands on the steering wheel at

Correct answer

  • the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position.
  • the 8 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
  • the 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock position.

Explanation

When driving a vehicle equipped with airbags, leave about 10?12 inches of space between yourself and the steering wheel. Keep your hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel. Avoid the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. The driver's airbag deploys at very high speed out of the steering wheel. If your hands are too high on the steering wheel, the airbag could drive your hands right into your face, injuring you.
