Do you drive with both hands on the wheel at all times?

Being stylish when we drive is something everyone does and there are others that keep in mind what we learned at driving school. For example, driving with one hand on the wheel or with both.

Just one for me, I feel less in control with both hands on the wheel.
If I’m driving with both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to text/drink/put on make up/read/flip off tailgaters?
If I am on a thruway or another fast highway, I will usually have both hands on the wheel, and pay attention to my driving. You have more control over your car when going over 60–65 mph. Driving around highways that do not have much traffic, I sometimes will drive with just one hand on the wheel and the other around my honey!
I have been driving for over 50 years, and Never had an accident!!
Depends on what’s the most comfortable for me. I drive with 2 hands, one hand, even just a knee if there’s no traffic.
Yes.
I’ve learned to shift gears with my right foot. ;-)
Drive with mind control!!!! :D
No usually one, either at 12 or at 6. In my old car, I was guilty of driving with my knees sometimes as well. :/
I usually have both hands on the wheel.
Zack, absolutely no I do not! Probably should, but we know the rest of the story!
Not usually. I’m like @Freedom_Issues. I drive with either of my hands at 12 or 6.
I sometimes drive with both hands on the steering wheel but more often than not, I just use one hand because the other one is preoccupied with other activities..
Most of the time, I keep both hand on the wheel, however, there are time when changing gears that I have to remove one hand.
Not at all times, not when I’m driving on a highway and I’m going at a steady pace because there is no heavy traffic.
@Brian1946 You know us people who drive standards are dying out at an alarming rate!!
@Taciturnu actually I drive a standard but you made a valid point. I forget I use usually one hand in the city because my hand often has to come off the wheel to shift gears.
I use both hands when I’m turning. Other than that, my hand usually rests on the shifter or my lap.
Mostly I do, but not always. Sometimes I’m “waving” to the other wonderful drivers on the road and have to remove my hand from the wheel for that! :)
@Pandora I can’t seem to find standard transmission cars anymore. Dealers are even seeming to opt out of having them in stock. That’s my only absolute requirement in a car, so I’m concerned with this further drop off that we’re experiencing.
