The optimal hand position on a steering wheel is generally considered to be at the "eight and four" position. This provides good control and allows for efficient turning using methods like push-pull steering.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Eight and Four Position: This refers to the clock face analogy, placing your hands where the 8 and 4 o'clock positions would be.
-
Push-Pull Steering (Hand-to-Hand Steering): This technique involves pushing the steering wheel up with one hand while simultaneously pulling it down with the other. This maintains control and avoids crossing your hands. When returning to center, hands slide back to the "eight and four" position.
In summary, position your hands at the eight and four position on the steering wheel for optimal control and use the push-pull steering method for turning.
