Higher hand positions, such as 10 and 2 o&#8217;clock, can lead to the hands being forced upward, potentially causing injuries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comfort:<\/strong> This hand positioning is often more comfortable for many drivers, reducing strain on the shoulders and arms during extended driving periods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance with Safety Recommendations:<\/strong> Modern driving safety guidelines suggest hand positions at 9 and 3 o&#8217;clock or 8 and 4 o&#8217;clock to ensure better control and minimize injury risks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>While the traditional 10 and 2 o&#8217;clock hand positions were once standard, they are now less recommended due to the increased risk of injury from airbag deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, placing your left hand between 7 and 8 o&#8217;clock and your right hand between 4 and 5 o&#8217;clock on the steering wheel during hand-to-hand steering offers improved control, comfort, and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where should your hands be placed on the steering wheel when using hand-to-hand steering?AnswersThe left hand between 9 and 10 o\u2019clock
