Debunking Dangerous Driving Myths
Some car myths are not only false, but also hazardous. While certain myths, such as warming up the engine on a cold morning or keeping the car idling, are harmless, others can be detrimental to safety.
One such myth is the idea of holding the steering wheel at the '10 and 2' position, which was originally taught to provide more leverage and control in older cars without power steering.
Generations ago, before cars had power steering and needed larger steering wheels, holding the steering wheel at the '10 and 2' position was taught because it was believed to give more leverage and better control.
This notion has been passed down through generations, potentially due to the traditional nature of teaching someone to drive.
