When driving a vehicle with airbags what is the safest position for your hands on steering wheel?

The safest hand position on the steering wheel varies depending on the type of vehicle and the design of the airbag. However, some general guidelines include:

- Place your hands on the wheel at the "9 and 3" position. This allows your hands to move quickly and easily in any direction in case of a collision.

- Hold the wheel firmly, but not too tightly. This allows the airbag to deploy properly and reduces the risk of injury to your hands and arms.

- Avoid placing your hands near the center of the steering wheel or in the spokes of the wheel. These areas are more likely to be struck by the airbag, which could cause serious injuries.

- If your vehicle has a passenger airbag, make sure that your hands are not in the path of the airbag's deployment. This could prevent the airbag from protecting the passenger in the event of a collision.
