Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 When I was learning to drive, my Dad was firm on the old 10 and 2 hand positions on the steering wheel. All the BMWs I've owned have had the four spoke wheel, which looks as though it was derived from a aeroplane wheel (like a Cessna 172, but with a top and bottom piece to complete the circle). I wondered whether driving holding the wheel by the 9 and 3 positions would work for everyday driving (sort of like the Cessna wheel)? It feels uncomfortable to me, but since most of you are a few generations removed from me, I wondered what is usual to you? I have, of course, driven by holding on with just a finger or two at 6 when cruising, but that's rather unsafe and not to be recommended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 10 and 2 was old days before power steering air bags My momo type wheel has a grip setup that's in between those two and it feels fantastic, works on the track too, don't need to shift hands much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 my mtech two wheel has a horizontal spoke with grips just above that.So i guess i am just above 9 and 3,when i am in cruise mode quite often i have only a thumb and forefinger at six....but thats a habit i am trying to get out of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 I reckon both 10-2 and 9-3 are fine. Maybe 10-2 works a little better on a track as you don't need to switch hands as much. 9-3 work well on road for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
