10 and 2 is what you're taught to do.

I always wondered why they teach this when 9 & 3 is actually the most correct way

10 & 2 was taught before airbags became standard equipment.

4 & 8 is the proper positions to hold the steering wheel to avoid broken bones in the thumb or wrist when the airbag deploys.

I have personal experience and two surgeries as proof of 10 & 2 being the wrong way to hold onto the steering wheel.
