Correct answer
- CNo.No.
The correct position of the hands on the steering wheel is essential to keep proper control of the vehicle. According to the traffic rules, the driver must make sure their hands are placed so that they can manoeuvre effectively and keep their attention on the road. If the hands are not correctly placed, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, which is dangerous. The fact that the right hand is on the gear lever means it is not in the best position to control the steering wheel, so the correct answer is 'No'.
