@GTO - Would you happen to know if Ford is planning to do this in other cities across India as well. I would be very keen to attend one of these.

My brother attended one of these given by BMW (he is an owner) in South Africa and was telling me about some of the things he learnt and how they differed from what we were taught.

Does anybody here drive with their hands in the 10 to 2 position. What he was taught is that the best position is QUARTER TO THREE (one had around 3 and other around 9 on a clock). The logic is that this position gives you the most mobility to turn a steering wheel in an emergency without having to move your hands off the wheel
