When you apply for your license it is usually said at 10 and 2 (o'clock) This is fine and I did it with MY driving instructor. Now though it is said to be 8 and 4, which is TOTALLY bogus and inneffective and just plain STUPID. You cannot turn the car without hitting yourself in the ribs, and its very hard to control your car. Once your out on your own you can pretty much hold the wheel however you want, as long as it's not with your feet haha. I like to drive with my left hand at the 12 o'clock position, and I rest my right hand on my automatic transmission knob, or if in a manual, on the shift knob. I find this to be very comfortable and relaxing, yet at the same time, I keep total control and I have avoided many accidents. But it is pretty much personal preference :)
I hope this gives you some ideas!
To maintain vehicle control in strong winds, you should grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, reduce your speed to account for gusts, and avoid sudden steering movements.

To reduce forearm injuries, hands should be placed on the lower half of the steering wheel, with knuckles on the outside and thumbs streched along the the rim of the steering wheel. Elbows should be able to rest comfortably by your sides.
The popular belief is that having your hands at 10 and 12 is the safest way to drive, but this is wrong. According to AAA, the best way to hold the steering wheel is to place your hands at 9 and 3.
Hands at 9 & 3 on the steering wheel. It use to be 10 & 2 but due to air bags that has changed.
Yes, players can switch hands while dribbling in basketball to maneuver around defenders and maintain control of the ball.
You should hold your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel. This grip provides better control and stability while driving, allowing for quick adjustments and improved reaction times. Additionally, it enhances your ability to maneuver safely in various driving conditions. Avoid holding the wheel at the 10 and 2 positions, as this can interfere with airbag deployment in the event of a collision.
A column stalk, also known as a steering column stalk, is a lever on the steering column of a vehicle that is used to control various functions such as the turn signals, headlights, windshield wipers, and cruise control. It allows the driver to easily access these controls without having to take their hands off the steering wheel.
Your hands should be at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions on the steering wheel, and not crossed over one another. It's not "10 and 2" anymore because steering-wheel-mounted airbags can break your wrists at that angle.
