A computer system and method for associating hand placement on a vehicle steering wheel with a driving behavior is described. A sensor system is disposed on the steering wheel configured to detect contact of driver hands upon the steering wheel. A computer processor is coupled to the sensor system to receive and analyze data indicative of hand placement on the steering wheel to determine hand placement. A transceiver device communicates with the computer processor whereby data indicative of hand placement is transmitted to a computer server device associated with an insurance company providing insurance for the vehicle.
