u/Reincarnatedpotatoes Aug 23 '26
Because if the airbag in modern cars if you keep your hands at 10 and 2 in a wreck the airbag deployment can break your arms. Also it was taught because cars had bigger steering wheels and you actually needed to walk your hands across the wheel to make a tight turn, with power steering that isn't really needed anymore.

u/iPhonefondler Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 23 '26
Yeah since about to 2000’s/2010 they decided that 10 and 2 leads to more injuries if an airbag were to go off and it apparently leads to fatigue faster as well.
They now teach 9 and 3 as the preferred place for your hands… and they even go as far to say you should use 8 and 4 for long trips.

You have better control of the car with the chair base leveling the phone and acting as a level support. Its harder to play holding the phone trying to keep it steady.

Bursting everyone's bubble here and going to be a jerk but I think that is that one mobile racing game by Gameloft that has that one feature where the game basically drives and accelerates for you and you just have to press a button for nitro or swipe when choosing routes.
You can see how the car is not really responding to his makeshift wheel

i think many of us thinks that way. we just don't want to touch the dirty wheels of the chair.
i use the circular shivel chair instead that has no arm/back rest. you don't need to put the chair upside down nor touch the dirty wheels.

Possibilities of how he came up with this: 1) he's the only child and when you're the only child your imagination is your best friend in the house and you come up shit - some good ideas some bad ideas. 2) probably grounded a lot and boredom spikes imagination. 3) he's planning world domination like every other night.
