NHTSA now recommends "8 and 4" hand position. Did see the memo about this?

I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/steeringtechniqu...

In practice I had a dislocated wrist once and getting it put back in was the most painful experience of my life.
