One hand or two?

[uglyota]

a question just crossed my mind...do you guys usually drive with the textbook 10-and-2 both hands on the steering wheel, or something else? On- or off-road? I almost always drive with only one hand, my left, at the top of the wheel. I think it gives me more control when pulling tight turns or quick maneuvering, when I'm drifting I use my palm like a suicide knob. Off-road same thing, except when I'm bound up and need to turn the wheel hard I'll use 2 hands. Oh and this is not in the kitchen so maybe we can keep it a little bit on-topic

as previously posted I drive with one hand on the wheel. The other hand be used for such things as rolling up and down the window, messing with cruise control on a normal vehicle( ), chunking empties out the window, and keeping my zipper from chafing your sisters chin (haha )

[TxCruzr]

one hand, the other is for giving california howdys
if I use both hands they might start fighting each other and try to turn the wheel opposite directions

[95discovery]

on and off road I usually keep my left hand on the wheel and the right on the shifter (even if im not shifting, its still comfortable)

With a title like "One hand or Two?" you expect us to take it seriously?


auto car-right hand at top, left elbow on window
stick- left hand on top, right hand on shifter.

The textbook says 9 and 3 now because of airbags.

[texasxj]

depends offroad normally 2. street-8-4 with elbows on door and armrest. or one hand on top and one on door or armrest. or i just put it on cruise and let go!!!

[BMFScout]

or i just put it on cruise and let go!!!

I forgot to add, w/out windshield in October, both crossed in front of me hunkered over.

9 and 3 is also where your hands should be for driving twisties or road courses...."perfomance driving"

So, with that being said...
Camaro- 9 and 3 unless shifting
Scout- Depends on speed.
-Below 60, right hand 12, left arm on door
-Above 60, 9 and 3 white knuckle tight

Scout- Depends on speed.
-Above 60, 9 and 3 white knuckle tight

I didn't think it would go that fast maybe down hill with a tailwind

[Fredo]

****, that pile will do 80 even with a bearing missing in the motor...but it gets pissed off and I have to drop back to about 70....75 is about max sustained speed without one of the lifters loosing pressure.

you were speaking relatively, werent you eric? cuz that was about as on topic as jerry can stay.

[AggieTJ2007]

I usually one hand unless I am doing something like lighting a smoke, or opening a drink then I don't use any hands

[RCcola55]

for me i must say it is relative to what and how im driving, so i cant say there is one way that i hold the wheel

[stx4wheeler]

usually drive on the road with the left hand at like 11 or so, and other arm on armrests(unless arm rest is up cause of jerrys sis). off-road about the same when driving the big nasty cause i gots hydro assist so steering the pig aint a problem, yet when driving the big nasty on the road, usually both hands for added safety or other motorists.
