 The Safety Administration says hands at 10 and 2 is out. 9 and 3 is in, that is if you want to keep your thumbs. The administration altered the hand position about two years ago because they say if an airbag deploys, your thumbs can be a casualty if they're not in the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. They say the new hand position doesn't just save thumbs, it also reduces broken wrists and your thumbs jabbing you in the face. I'm Bree Tennis.
