What is the correct hand position for controlled steering on a commercial vehicle?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 46 (General Knowledge): One hand on each side of the wheel, roughly across from each other, so you can react equally well in either direction
Why
Keeping both hands on opposite sides of the wheel gives you equal, ready control to correct in either direction, which a one-handed or stacked grip does not provide as quickly.
