Explanation
When driving, both hands should be placed on opposite sides of the steering wheel. This position is not only comfortable but also ensures stability, especially on high-speed roads. By having both hands on opposite sides, you can make turns without removing your hands from the wheel. This grip provides optimal leverage, allowing for precise steering movements and quick adjustments when needed.
