What is the correct hand position for steering wheel operation?

[SkylarLynn]

Hold the wheel with hands at the "9 and 3 o'clock" positions (sometimes called "9:15"). Maintain grip throughout the turning process, rotating hands with the wheel during both steering and straightening. When additional turning is needed ("second input"): keep the upper hand stationary while the lower hand moves up to grip the wheel at the top position - maintaining the "9 and 3 o'clock" hand placement for continued steering. Steering wheel overview: 1. Definition: A steering wheel is the rotational control device used to direct vehicles (cars, ships, aircraft, etc.). 2. Function: Converts driver-applied force at the wheel rim into torque that gets transmitted through the steering column.
