What minimum distance does the Michigan handbook recommend between the center of the driver’s breastbone and the center of the steering wheel?
Correct answer: 10 inches.
Why
The handbook recommends at least 10 inches between the center of the breastbone and the center of the steering wheel. Sit as far back as possible while maintaining safe control, and wear the lap-shoulder belt correctly. This is seating safety guidance, not a separate statutory distance penalty.
