I think that AAA has finally changed its decades old advice from driving with your hands at "10 and 2" to ...I think "9 and 3" due to the potential for interfering with a deploying airbag.
Speaking of that, I had a VERY close call last week. Stopped at a four way stop sign in a residential neighborhood and proceeded across. I didn't know it, but the person in the car behind "rolled with me" instead of making their own stop-and-look. They got absolutely CREAMED broadside by a car cresting the hill on the cross street. I had my windows rolled up and could still hear both the airbags deploy! The collision drove the hittee up onto the lawn of one of the houses, spun the other car and NEARLY swiped my rear and I was out of the intersection. I had never stopped to think how loud those bags are. Driver shaken but okay. Passenger didn't get out, ambulance took her. She was the meat in the sandwich of the T-Bone!
