    Weird. I don’t think I have driven a modern car that lets you put your hands around the wheel at 9 and 3 because that’s where the centre/airbag attaches. Most also have a third point at 6, so 10 and 2 or 8 and 4 seems more appropriate. Are you only supposed to rest your hands on the outside of the wheel now?

      There are generally spokes at around the 9/3 positions, but it’s not terrible to also put your hands there usually. Still, my 2015 car has the steering stalks where they’re easier to operate at 10/2, and some extra tactile features on the wheel at 10/2, so clearly the auto industry hasn’t caught up yet.
