I barely started driving, but my car is a 4-speed manual, so I drive with me left, but with an automatic, with my right.

I used to drive mostly with both. Then came the manual tranny, so I now drive with my left hand at about 7 and my right hand either shifting, holding the remote to my head unit, or just chilling out.

It depends what country I am in....

In South Africa and the UK I steer with my right and shift with my left, in the USA I steer with my left and shift with my right.....

I am one of those people that like to actually drive the car, so I have a manual transmission.

I use both hands to drive, hands are placed at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively, and I only do that because I'm an autoX wannabe.

Also curious, WHERE are your hands when you drive? I have my right hand at 3, my left either at 9 or grabbing the post that's at 7:30.
When I have both hands on the wheel, I aim to stay left hand at 9 o'clock, right at 3 o'clock. In lazier situations (say on a straight section of highway at cruising speed), or when shifting, I have the left at 10 to 10:30, and the right either resting on an arm rest or shifting.
