Better steering wheel grip for cruising

From what I've heard the "10 & 2" position was recommended before air bags were installed in all cars. Now the recommended hand position is 9 & 3 to reduce the chance of injury to your arms if the steering wheel air bag should deploy.

Reference the hand position at the bottom of the steering wheel palm down isn't a good idea. I remember teaching my daughter to drive and her using the palm down/bottom of the steering wheel position during cruise...I had to try and break that habit since if she needed to make an evasive maneuver her hand/arm rotation would be severly limited...your shoulders just won't allow but about a quarter turn of the wheel and a "for sure" broken wrist if you crash IMHO.
