    I never really see anyone drive with there hands at 10:00 and 2:00 on the steering wheel, so I was wondering where are your hands when you drive. Mine tend to be at 6:00 and nothing, the free hand is useful for flipping off bad drivers. :grin:

    What about everyone else, where are your hands on the steering wheel?

    I don't have a liscence yet, but when I practice I usually put them 'round 9 and 3. It's just more comfortable, really.

    Varies with the particular road type (downtown street, 4 lane highway, etc), mostly something like 4 and 9ish.

    If I'm being lazy and there's not much traffic, I'm at six and nothing. If I'm in heavy traffic and I'm moving quickly, I'm at nine and three.

    Generally it's 5 and nothing - and my elbow's leaning on the door. If it's crappy weather or an unfamiliar place then I drive 10 and 2. And if I'm dancing along to my music it's generally 3 and nothing.

    I don't really have a standard way of steering, my hands are all around. I tend to drive with one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift, weird habit.

    Oh there is one standard thing, driving on highways where I usually have my hand(s) around 5 and 7.

    Usually, 9 and 3.

    At times, I drive with just one hand, but I try to avoid that as much as possible with how many terrible drivers there are in my area. It's truly pathetic.

    My hands are usually right at 9 and 3, holding the invisible steering wheel of the car I don't own.

    9:30 and 2:30 without the thirty at the bottom. Then again, I rarely drive since I don't have my own car.

    6 and nothing or 12 and nothing. Pretty much 12-6 and nothing unless there's a lot of traffic.

    9 and 3, or just 6. That'd be on a mule though, I don't have a license yet (nor can I afford to). I have a friend who drives at something like 10.30 and 1.30, or even 11 and 1 - if I'm honest he looks like a prick. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm usually 9 and 3 or 10 and 2. I very, very rarely use just one hand since my car has VERY bad power steering, so it often requires both my arms and my full to even turn the wheel even just slightly. >_>

    If I'm driving my mom's car which has normal steering, I'll just use my left arm at either 6 or 12 and rest my right because it feels more natural. (I'm right-handed, so it's weird...)
