What is the most suitable position for adjusting the steering wheel?
1 Answers
The most suitable position for adjusting the steering wheel is: the top edge of the steering wheel should be roughly at the same height as the driver's shoulders, while maintaining a comfortable legroom in the front and back, as well as a comfortable distance between the driver and the steering wheel. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. This posture provides better body support in the event of a collision. If only four fingers are used to grip the steering wheel with the thumb extended and resting on it, when the wheel hits a rock or a high curb, the front wheel may suddenly turn to one side, causing the steering wheel to rotate rapidly, which could potentially break the thumb.
