Explanation

Generally, you should keep your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel. However, some manufacturers recommend keeping your hands at the 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions. Check your owner's manual or contact your vehicle's manufacturer to determine which position is best for your vehicle. 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.
