I though having your hands at 10-2 was proper?

Two cases recently argued before SCOTUS could narrow or expand warrantless searches

So you're saying that these two cases could either narrow or expand an already uncontitutional act? Interesting proposition.

[Enchante]

Actually, now some of the “experts” are saying 9-3 because if the airbag is deployed with your hands/wrists above it, you may get severe hand/arm injuries .....

But, yes, 10-2 has been widely taught for decades.

Just wait for police doing warrentless gun confiscations. Oh wait. There won’t be anymore cops. The rise of the militias.

After seeing images of the parked bike on Collins’ Facebook page...

How in the world...?

Not any longer. 10-3 or 8-4 is better. The reason is because of the airbag. At 10-2 you can be degloved, have your hand amputated or even get your hand blasted back shattering your face in the process.

As to your question as it relates to the article, only people high, drunk or smuggling something use 10-2. heh.

It used to be 10 & 2, but with the advent of airbags most driving schools recommend 9 & 3. This is because the airbag *could* break your arms when it deploys.

Airbags: a bomb in your steering wheel: What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Before power steering it was practically required. Truckers loved the steering knob.

"There the officer saw the Suzuki in the driveway nosing out from under a tarp..."

My first thought, admittedly, was "who hides their bike under a tarp?... probably somebody who had stolen it."

Second thought was - how hard is it to get a warrant?

[lastchance]

Police watch for people driving too carefully. They assume the person is trying to avoid being pulled over. How’s that logic?

[CJ Wolf]

especially when pulled over, they want to see your hands.

[Nifster]

Cars with air bags in the steering wheel.....recommendation for proper hand placement is nine and three. Highly advices to avoid nasty results if air nag blows in an accident

[nicollo]

Whatever they rule on the 4th amendment, I hope the Court upholds and encourages more policing of the left lane.

If you’re not passing, MOVE OVER!!

I’m having a hard time squaring enforcement of DWI on private property (that happens all the time) with this cop’s investigation of a covered bike on a driveway.

I don’t agree with it, but just curious on the logic here.
