Question

1. which of these describes a grasp that reduces the chance of injury from an airbag?

hands in a balanced position; thumbs flat against the wheel
a tight, very firm grasp on each side of the wheel
a loose grasp that allows the wheel to slide back to position easily

Explanation:

To reduce injury from an airbag, the correct hand position on the steering wheel is having hands in a balanced position with thumbs flat against the wheel. A tight, firm grasp or a loose grasp that lets the wheel slide are not safe as they can lead to injury when the airbag deploys (e.g., fingers/thumbs getting caught or improper control).

Answer:

Hands in a balanced position; thumbs flat against the wheel
