What is the recommended steering position while driving?

The recommended steering position while driving is with arms bent and thumbs facing towards you in the 10 and 2 position. This grip provides optimal control over the vehicle, allowing the driver to make quick and precise maneuvers. It aligns with safety guidelines that emphasize having both hands on the wheel for maximum stability and responsiveness, especially in emergency situations.

Holding the wheel at the 10 and 2 positions keeps the driver's elbows slightly bent, which reduces strain during long periods of driving and enables faster steering adjustments when necessary. This position also ensures that the driver has a clear view of the road ahead and can react effectively to obstacles or changes in traffic conditions.

Other steering positions, such as arms straight with palms facing down, one hand on the wheel, or arms crossed, do not provide the same level of control and increase the risk of losing control, especially if a quick response is required.
