South Carolina Vehicle Control practice

• A.place your left hand at the 10 o’clock position and your right hand at the 2 o’clock position.
• B.place your left hand at the 8 to 10 o’clock position and your right hand at the 3 to 5 o’clock position.
• C.place your left hand at the 7 to 9 o’clock position and your right hand at the 3 to 5 o’clock position.✓
• D.place your left hand at the 7 to 9 o’clock position and your right hand at the 2 to 4 o’clock position.

Why: According to the South Carolina Driver's Manual, you should place your left hand between 7 and 9 o'clock and your right hand between 3 and 5 o'clock. This lower hand position provides better control and significantly reduces the risk of injury if the airbag deploys.

• A.toward the left edge of the roadway
• B.toward the right edge of the roadway✓
• C.at the driver of the vehicle
• D.in your rear-view mirror

Why: When an oncoming vehicle has its high beams on, you should look toward the right edge of the roadway. This prevents the intense light from blinding you while allowing you to use the road markings to stay in your lane.
