Do you.....

Drive with 2 hands? Im horrible for always only having 1 hand on the wheel. I used to always drive with 2 hands when I had my Mazda 323 cause there was no power steering or power-assist. But with the caprice, steering is so effortless, and whenever I have to give my mom a lift somewhere, shes always bitchin "Keep both hands on the wheel" :rolleyes:

So what about everyone out there? 1 hand, 2 hands?

I'm also one of the one handers..

1 hand on the wheel, one hand on the shifter. Just incase I need a quick downshift.

really depends on What car, Where I am, Who Im with, etc etc......
my beetle 2 hands(unless im shifting/playing with radio/so on) cause it takes 2 hands to keep it on the road with its Super Beetle Shimmy!
my 200SX i generally drive one handed on the street, the other hand lightly resting on the shifter(or fiddling with the cd player, answering the cell phone, pushing the dog off my lap....:rolleyes: )
at an autox its always 2 fisted shuffle steering- unless im shifting

Im also a one hand brotha, and my mom has finally stopped bitchin about it...:bandit:

Man that depends. More times than not it is one hand due to heave traffic and the car being maunal. If the weather is bad two hands except when shifting due to the cars natural tendency to go sidways the min boost hits more than 6 psi.

Two hands unless I'm highway crusing then usually one with the cruise on and my other leg out the window. :D

I NEVER rest my hand on the shifter, bad habit. I can get my hand there by the time I put in the clutch.

1 handed at all times, sometimes I listen to Break Ya neck, and drive with 2 hands, cuz I am nodding my head alot. :hehe:

I use two hands, but I'm a relaxed driver. Note: Where I put my hands on the steering wheel denotes the mood I'm in...Eh, just thought I would throw that out there.

Two hands in most cases - have to consciously force myself to do that...:)

One hand, but trying desparately to drive with two hands. When I drive one hand, I tend to get too comfortable. On especially lazy days, I prop my left leg up on the dash (auto box).

I drive with one hand... whether right or left depends on the car/season. For example, driving an auto in the summer lends itself to the right hand steering and the left hand in the open window... But with my stick, I usually drive with the left hand on the wheel (at about 7-8 o'clock) and the right hand resting on the gear shifter, playing w/the radio, answering cell calls, or MAYBE playing with the massage nubbies on my steering wheel cover! :D

Does this answer your question?:D:D

I'm a one hand driver. I know its not the way they teach us, but its the way I enjoy driving.

2 hands mostly. Except of course for shifting gear, and sometimes I find myself resting my hand on the gearknob for a little while after a change.

normally one and its normally at the top of the steering wheel unless i get lazy then it goes to the bottom :D sometimes i drive with 2 when im being stupid with my frriends.

For the short distances I drive, it's one hand on the wheel and one hand on the shifter (not as though I ever end up shifting anyway..just feels right..)

It all depends. I have no particular way I drive, I just get in and wherever my hands go, they stay (for the most part). If I have the window down, then I hold onto the wheel with my right at about 2:30, and left either hanging out the window, or elbow on the door, and finger and thumb at 8 or 9. Every once in a blue moon, it's left at 12, sometimes right at 5:30 and left at 6:30, or left at 10 and right finger and thumb at 4. NEVER 2 and 10 grasping tightly like they taught me :D

Also, if I'm on the highway, it's both wrists laying on top of the spokes right up against the inside of the wheel (it's a 2 spoke wheel), while batting my thumbs on the part behind the wheel (that houses the signal stalks, and 4 way falsher switch) to the music.

I never end up resting a hand on the shifter unless I'm in stop-n-go (like twice a year), or stopped with the shifter in first waiting for my chance to pull out of a street. I just reach down while pressing the clutch in.

I usually do. It all depends though, sometimes if I’m just cruising along I might drive with one hand on the wheel, but mostly I drive with both hands.

It depends. Most of the time I drive with my left hand on the wheel and the the right one resting on the armrest...or right hand on wheel, left arm on the door sill when the weather is nice. I do use 2 hands when driving on a curvy road or in heavier traffic where I might have to react in case someone's mad driving skillz get out of line.

A Mini is a real drivers' car.However,it's a warm weather cruiser for me,and I always have the sunroof open and the windows down.I drive with one hand usually.If I have the windows down,it's left hand out the window,right on the wheel,and then when I go to shift,it's left on the wheel,shift with the right.Because it doesn't have power steering,I turn with both hands and this car is like driving a go kart and is so much fun,so sometimes you just want to roar all over the place as if in a go kart.


However,we all know we have to drive with 2 hands,but I'm a window and 12 guy.

One hand on the wheel, the other on the shifter or out the window

moondog I wonder when you and I are cruising around if you change your two hands driving habbits? I mean it seems we are shifting gears so often hehehehe

Either depending on the condition. With the windows down, I drive one handed with the right hand somewhere between 11 and 3 for some reason. With the windows up it's one hand in the beginning of a trip and two hands at the end of the trip. At my job when I'm driving the truck with the elbow rest, my right arm rests on it and the hand position is at 5-5:30 and my left hand is barely touching the 11 position.

I usually drive with one, but now since my left front brake rotor is bassically ruined, i drive with two when braking, but one the rest of the time. The time to junk my car is coming up very very fast, theres a 99% chance that its gonan be this week :(.
