The spawn of your favorite position.

[theundeadhero]

I was thinking about the "Whats your favorite position" post the other day while I was driving my truck. Then I started thinking about how people like to drive. This poll came to mind and I decided to give it the gusto. (You have no idea how many ideas I let slide in the name of moderation) While driving your vehicle, how do you hold your steering wheel?

[Martyr]

Always hold your left hand on the wheel unless you must make a hand signal.

I wrote an entire report on the inadequesies and consequences of misusing your left hand while driving.

Two of my points include:

- Holding your left hand out the window promotes the ignorance to hand signals, which some people really need sometimes and some people sometimes get into crashes because the rule has been forgotten among the masses.

- Many people think that tapping their left hand is cool. Especially in a hot rod. But only a stick driver has any kind of speed (Assuming the vehicle doesn't have a wratchet shifter, which most don't.). So an inability to drive stick is a hit against a person's worth as a driver. And a poser is immediately found out when that left gives away that a fast looking car is an automatic.

Left hand is preferred. Both hand is fine too. You don't have to put on a show like you're shifting when you're not. That's goofy and unsafe and unnecessary.

But never only right hand. It isn't even cool. It looks a lot cooler to have only your left hand on the wheel (If coolness is what you're going for...)


Edit/Note: If you don't stick your left hand out the window and if you don't own a street racer (Nor want to), then my arguments fall sort of flat. I guess. But my oipinion still stands where it counts!

My right hand or sometimes both if it's raining or snowing really hard, or I'm nervous about traffic. I'm all cool and laid back like that.

My dad uses his hands. I don't drive. I don't pay attention when he drives.

[Shlup]

I prefer to drive from the passenger seat.

[Kirobaito]

I have two hands at 5 and 7. No bother what I'm simultaneously doing.

[Leeza]

Either both or just my left because my right is usually on the stick.

[Del Murder]

Exactly like necro's pic except without the left hand at all.

[Sacred Phoenix]

Left on the wheel, cause the right usually has a coffee, bagel or smoke in it. I usually only use two if the road conditions suck (like yesterday, anyone from Toronto would know), meaning lots of snow and/or freezing rain and alot of wind.

[escobert]

Depends on if I'm smoking a cigarette or if I'm driving standard. Always one handed though.

[Eö Telrúnya]

I always use both hands, because I'm a really nervous driver and I hate driving. If I don't have both hands on the wheel at all times, I feel really insecure and dangerous. Something inside is telling me that I really shouldn't have a driving license!

[Samuraid]

Manual trans = left hand on wheel, right hand on shifter
Automatic trans = right or left hand...depending upon...a sudden whim.

[SeeDRankLou]

I usually drive with my left hand because I very often have a drink of some kind (not alcoholic of course) when I'm driving.
