Correct answer
- the ten o'clock and two o'clock positions.
- the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions.
- the nine o'clock and four o'clock positions.
Explanation
While you drive, keep both hands on opposite sides of the steering wheel: The nine o'clock and three o'clock positions, or even the eight o'clock and four o'clock positions in newer vehicles equipped with airbags. The driver's-side airbag deploys at very high speed out of the steering wheel. If your hands are higher on the steering wheel than nine o'clock and three o'clock, the deploying airbag could push your hands into your face, injuring you.
