Appreciate the perspective. I’m able to maneuver perfectly with 8 and 4 while racing my Miata. If I’m turning right: I reposition my right hand to 2 and pull with my right hand while keeping my left hand in place so that it stays in 8 position. Once my right hand gets back into the 4 position I start pushing the wheel with my left hand, keeping my right hand at 4. This actually gives you more control in your turn before your arm would cross the center of your steering wheel and minimize risk.

Another great thing about 8 and 4 is that it incentivizes the thumbs be placed either on the outside of the steering wheel or resting on the center controls. Many people who drive with 9 and 3 tuck their thumbs inside directly above the steering wheel controller. If you’re ever in an accident serious damage can occur if the thumbs are placed inside the steering wheel.

Might be because they are driving 10 & 2 with a firm grip…

What you’re supposed to do is place your hands at 8 & 4 while never crossing the opposite hand over the airbag.

The way the driver has his hand in the image can cause some serious face damage if the airbag is deployed, especially considering he’s wearing a giant ass metal watch.

It’s actually the saddest song, because it contains all the letters that make up all the sad words.

Looks like a “sticky” situation
