You should be close enough to steering wheel so that your wrist, when your shoulders are pressed firmly against seat, rests against top of steering wheel. This ensures that you don't have to lean forward out of seat in order to make aggressive or sudden turns, and minimizes the risk of injury in a crash.

^^ This.
