So I've stumbled on to information lately that would suggest that some driver training schools have dropped the hand over hand steering method in favour of the shuffle method and the reasoning is that there is less risk of an airbag injury to one's arms/wrists if using the shuffle method versus the hand over hand method which places one's arms/wrists in a position between the steering wheel airbag and one's chest.
I'm still a hand over hand guy - curious as to other people's thoughts on this and what method they use.
