If something crops up on the road when I'm driving, I'll go back to 10-2. But keep in mind that all this controversy about hand positions is targeted toward training drivers of emergency vehicles in high-risk situations. Not to mention the comfort level of the driver's hand position. But Gordon Booth, owner of Drivetrain in Willow Glen, Calif., doesn't go along with the idea that lower is better. If you are in fairly heavy traffic, I would disagree with anything less than 9-3.
Traffic cops say in recent years, another new position has gained considerable popularity.
