While driving, your hands should rest comfortably at 10 and 2 on the wheel (or thereabouts depending on what is comfortable). So use proper steering as the first (of potentially many) instances where you confess to your teen that some of your driving habits aren’t quite up to snuff.Įxplain that you want them to learn proper driving habits because you’re concerned about their safety and that you’ll try to shore up your bad habits as well. And trust me, your teen has seen you do this. Many of us have been known to use one hand to steer while using the other to chat on a cellphone, adjust the radio, or eat a burger.
You should always have two hands on the steering wheel.
