That's how autocross racers have been doing it for years. Gives you better control. and you can turn harder without moving your hands.
New steering guidelines
People have mostly been driving with the hands at the 10 and 2 positions, now the AAA and National Highway Traffic Administration says the 9 and 3 position is better.

They also suggest the push pull method. I don't like it.
Also, the main reason for 9 and 3 is so if the airbag blows it will cause less injury

is push pull method the same as "shuffling" the steering wheel?
I've been doing the push-pull method steering for a year or so. I wouldn't go back to hand over hand, my arms get tangled up doing it like that actually.
Here's a good video

How do you then hold the cell phone?
Pull over to the side of the road if possible, or park the car.How do you then hold the cell phone?
So is nobody going to point out that the Versa steering wheel doesn't work at 9 and 3?
This is true. I guess we'll all just have to slap on aftermarket steering wheels.So is nobody going to point out that the Versa steering wheel doesn't work at 9 and 3?
I'm going to say this, that wasn't in mind when they were designing the steering wheel. Clearly, 10 and 2 was the standard.So is nobody going to point out that the Versa steering wheel doesn't work at 9 and 3?
My big concern is due to my wife's height she sits dangerously close. Wish they still made a switch to turn it off. Her chest it only 4-6 inches from the steering wheel. If the bag deploys she could be seriously hurt.
