Forums - General - How do you hold the steering wheel when you drive?

Just outta curiosity.  Most of the time I have one hand at 8 oclock but sometimes in high traffic/construction zones I use 10-and-2.  What do other people use?

on freeway I use two hands appropriately.
on regular roads usually one hand on top or hand(s) resting on bottom of wheel.



One hand, right at the top. Sometimes a bit to the right. My left arm is always hanging out my window, and subsequently is much darker than my right arm, lol.



Right hand on 12,
Left hand out the window, or sometimes 7.

One hand.

Always at five, unless I'm turning, or merging.

I sit too far back to have my hand sit comfortably at the top of the steering wheel. Also, my arms are too short. And I think it looks weird.

One hand at the top usually. Other times two hands at the 4 and 8 o'clock position.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

left hand at 7/8/9 o clock.

2 and 10 over 90% of the time. I grab it like I would grab a slab (with my thumbs along the wheel), not like I would grab a bat (thumbs wrapped around the wheel) since that prevents your thumbs getting broken when going through a ditch when off-roading.



One hand on the top, except for when I'm turning I have a habit of using both hands.



Left hand at 8 most of the time but both for evasive maneuvering.
