normally while driving i make an unsafe habit of only driving with my right hand while resting my left arm out/on the window. turning w/o powersteering and having to shift with the same hand takes some practice. while driving fast of coarse i use two hands, as well as when parking since you look like an idiot when trying to pull into a parking spot with no power steering frantically trying to do it with only one hand. always have my seat at the furthest upright position and slid back as little as necessary. since im 6'2ish my head almost hits the roof tho

i sit so i can barely see out the window with one hand on top of the steering wheel. i also lean as far right as possible to further reduce visability. it would probably be easier if i took out the back seat so i could lean my seatback further back.

i drive like i'm in a race everywhere i go. i sit stright up both hands on the wheel unless i'm bout to shift or use the handbrake.
i seriously have a problem when it comes to driving. i have uncontrollable urges to mash the pedal to the floor. and to see how fast i can bend corners.

I have my right elbow out the window with my right hand holding the wheel steady and my left hand on the shifter. or my right hand will be on top of the wheel. I have my wheel at the lowest position (mmm adjustable steering column) and my seat leaned back so i can just reach the floor with the clutch.

Now that that has given you some weird *** visuals, let me remind you that im in oz and have right hand drive.

Just so you know you should rest your hand on the shifter. It wears down the bushing quicker.
