When driving, how do you hold the steering wheel?
To put it simply, I'm just curious as to how many stick to 9 and 3 or 10 and 2, either whilst learning to drive or once having passed their test. Sometimes these taught positions just aren't comfortable, and wondered what everyone progressed too over time 
Personally, I switch between a 10 and 2 and a 11 and nothing if I'm on the motorway for ages

Clearly texting is a very stupid thing to do whilst driving, but we all do silly things when we're drunk.
9 and 3 because it feels most natural to me!
I have more control of the car that way and can make quick and easy steering inputs!
Plus it's where racing drivers hold their hands too hehe!
But yeah I learnt at 10 & 2 and found it hard to keep hold of the wheel during corners where I didn't need to shuffle the wheel!
9 & 3 is a lot easier and technically safer as you don't have to take your hands off the wheel to turn! (Just be wary of the airbag!)

I hold it like I'm holding a girl's head down
Either 8 and 4
OR
Right hand on 11 and left hand on gear/under leg if it needs to be warmed lol

all these people admitting they are not in full control of the car ...
Then again that;s the difference between a steering wheel operative and a driver ...

I hold it at 10 and 2, like I did in my driving lessons
next no doubt you'll be claiming that push- pull is 'that shuffling *******s' ... thus demonstrating that you have no actual insight into the psychomotor skills or the need to remain in control of a vehicle ..
Oddly I tend to do 8-2
Following and established evidence base is not the fallacy of 'appeal to authority' ... and the funny thing is the evidence base here spans multiple disciplines.
Getting people who are unconsciously incompetent to event realise that they are incompetenent is very hard especially when they believe they are competent (dunning - kruger etc) reinforced by the possession of a basic certifcate of competence ...
Your failed point with regard to people with disabilities just further demonstrates your ignorance ofthe processes that someone with a significant disability goes through to get a provisional / reactivate their full licence ... ( assessment numerous Doctors , an further assessment by a OT ( and possibly orthotist) followed by an assessment with an ADI with additional training in conducting driving assessments for peopel with disabilities)
