Diamond Lil by Brett Koth for July 27, 2023

I don’t know who ever came up with that dumb rule. It all depends on the driver’s comfort, seating position and type of steering wheel. The design of the one in my car wouldn’t work for 10 and 2. I’m usually at 8 or 9 and 3.

With steering wheel airbags, 4 & 8 is best, without hooking your thumbs into the wheel.

Safety Note: Since the introduction of airbags, the proper hand position is closer to 8 and 4, nearer the bottom of the steering wheel. The reason is to reduce injuries to the arms or face if the front airbag deploys.

With digital clocks so common I wonder if today’s drivers will even know what the term “10 and 2” means.

I’ve driven 8-4 for years!

“The place where we meet only has parallel parking…”

“We have to come to a full stop before turning on the lights…”

“The Tailgate Party was voted down…”

6 with my knee..

And the big annual meeting is in Lodi, California.

I bet Al somehow uses the 10-2-4 position …

WHILE drinking a Dr. Pepper …!

I’m too busy hanging on for dear life! :)

I expect a rough ride when I see someone driving at 10 and 2. They tend to oversteer and lurch the car back and forth across the lane.

my favorites are the ones that place one hand on 12 and lean back with the other arm on the door (i’d say “elbow out the window,” but folks in these parts never turn the A/C off). usually regarding the world with a snarl. or, the ones who lean forward and place both hands on 12, ensuring that the car ends up in a ditch if they hit a bump…

Please a-10 2 your driving.
