An ideal position to place both hands on the steering wheel is at about the:

10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions
9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions
12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions
8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions

The correct answer is: 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions

An ideal position to place both hands on the steering wheel is at about the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. This hand placement allows for better control of the vehicle and provides the driver with stability while steering. It also helps reduce the risk of injury to the driver in case of a sudden impact from the deployment of the airbag. Option B (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions) is a common misconception, but the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions offer greater control and comfort. Options C (12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions) and D (8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions) do not provide the recommended hand placement for steering efficiently and safely.
