Which of the following is listed as a proper steering technique?

• A. Hand Positioning
• B. Shuffle Steering
• C. Evasive Steering
• D. Counter Steering

Answer: (A)

Maintaining proper hand position on the steering wheel is a foundational steering technique. Having your hands at the recommended positions (commonly near 9 and 3 o’clock) gives you the most precise control, the quickest response to hazards, and reduces the risk of injury if a sudden maneuver is required. Other terms describe specific steering methods used in particular situations, but they rely on first having solid hand placement. Because hand positioning sets up safe, reliable control in all driving scenarios, it is listed as the proper technique.
