Reinventing the Steering Wheel Rules

A rule is changing that's been around since the invention of the wheel.

The steering wheel, that is.

Keeping hands at "10 and 2" is no longer the rule of thumb, says AAA as well as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

and others. The advent of airbags makes the driving position obsolete.

The new suggestion is to keep hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock or 8 and 4, much safer positions if an airbag deploys.

  4. 10&2 could cause you to lose a finger or two if the airbag deploys.
