How is steering wheel positioning evaluated in driving?

Steering wheel positioning is evaluated by the optimal placement of a driver's hands on the steering wheel to ensure control and safety while driving. The most effective way to achieve this is by having both hands on the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. This method provides maximum leverage and control over the vehicle, enabling better maneuverability and reaction to unexpected situations.

While the idea of having less than 1/3 of the steering wheel between hands might suggest a relaxed grip, it does not promote the level of control necessary during various driving conditions. Other incorrect options, such as frequently adjusting the wheel while driving or extending the arms while turning, can lead to decreased reaction time and increased risk of losing control, making them unsuitable for safe steering techniques.
