Steering Wheel 10-2 - Steering Wheels


Hold a steering wheel 10:2?

Dec 21, 2010 by 49ers | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation

What is the 'correct' way to hold a steering wheel in the state of California these days? I need to take my driving test soon and my parents tell me 10:2, but I recall reading in the hand book to hold it either 9:3 or 8:4.


Thanks!

There is a couple of right ways depending on what you are doing.

I hold at 10 and 2 and then when turning do push-pull at 8 and 4.

Doing push-pull at 10 and 2 isn't as easy or safe, while holding the wheel at 8 and 4 during straight driving will limit the amount you can turn the wheel before having to let go unless you do an unnatural pushing movement first.

Do I really have to hold the steering wheel in 10-2 format for the NYS Driving Test?

I feel uncomfortable driving this way, mostly because I'm 6' tall and I have long arms.
(And, if I slide the seat back, I'll have a massive blind spot in my sides)

In relationship to a clock, I'd much rather prefer 7-12.

Is that okay...my driving instructor says its ideal.

as long as you have both your hands on the wheel, the formation is not that important.

Personally, I sometimes do a 12-5 formation, or 3-9, or 5-7. and you can place your argument to ur examiner saying that you prefer this formation to avoid blind spots. be confident, and everything will be ok.

Driving is not about how you hold the wheel or how you make the car move, it's all about anticipating the car behavior, and anticipating how other drivers on the road will behave, this is what gets you from point A to point B unharmed.

ChukGrips Transform Everyday Trekking Poles into Essential Snowshoeing Equipment

01.01.70

I rarely snowshoe with trekking poles. It’s just not something I do. I like having my hands and arms free to use a camera, examine local trees, check e-mails on my blackberry, and throw snowballs at passing snowmobilers. I feel somewhat restricted when using trekking poles; plus, I’m not a fan of most pole handles because they’re too rigid and only provide standard handgrips (nothing too creative). However, I recently used a replacement pair of pole handles called ChukGrips, which have completely changed my perception on the power of trekking poles.

What most pole manufacturers forget in the design of pole handles is that the wrists are just as important as the hands. Most pole handles seem dismissive of hand/wrist ergonomics – they’re designed to be lightweight and durable. I get it. The last thing any snowshoer wants is a weighty pair of poles; nonetheless, the handgrips should be comfortable to grasp.
