During normal driving conditions, drivers should handle the steering wheel in this manner:
  1. Two hands placed at the top of the wheel
  2. Hands placed at the bottom of the wheel
  3. Hands placed at opposite sides of the wheel
  4. It is up to the driver; whatever feels comfortable.
Explanation
Answer: C - The best way to hold the steering wheel is with both hands on the wheel, placed on opposite sides of the wheel. Driving with one hand or driving with hands at the top or bottom of the wheel can dramatically reduce the driver's ability to steer safely should they need to swerve. If a driver hits a pothole or curb, the wheel could be snatched from the driver's hands if they do not have a firm grasp on it.
