Driving With One Hand

[Dieseler]

Uso na ba ito?

I've been encountering these one-handed drivers who use their right hand to steer, and the left arm hanging down over the driver side window, either with a cigarette or holding nothing. Tapos feeling F1 driver by swerving around traffic.

What's the reason for this kaya? :?:

Pinapakita ba nila na malaki ang braso nila?

[mbt]

ayaw nila ng better control with two hands on the wheel e :roll:

[Bossing]

i also drive one handed only pag traffic or cruising speeds lang mainly to smoke a cigarette pero all the time two hands ako magdrive

[ssaloon]

parehas kami ni bossing :mrgreen:

one hand lang ako magdrive kapag bagal lang takbo ko, otherwise, always two hands on the wheel ako.

Driving with one hand is probably ok for slow / cruising speeds, but what I cannot understand is how some of these drivers were able to STEER and SHIFT gears AT THE SAME TIME, USING ONE HAND, while zig-zagging around traffic, WITH THE LEFT ARM HANGGING OUT THE DOOR...

The latest I met was a driver of an Isuzu Elf... wow galing... :?

Hey man, at least they still have one hand on the steering wheel. I've seen drivers in traffic using their knees to steer their car! Talk about multi-tasking!

:lol:

Me too, I also drive with one hand [left] on the wheel only. I use my right only mostly on making left turns, for right turns just to guide my left. Also at high speeds when the road has a curve to the right. I found it easier kasi to pull the wheel with the hand on which the curve is, either right or left. It gives smoother turns.

Ako rin, I steer mostly with one hand lang. My left is on the wheel and my right hand resting on the stick. Mas relaxed.

As long as well-maintained naman yung car mo (ie wheel balanced) and power steering kotse mo, ok lang na one hand lang sa wheel. IMO lang po.

pagmabagal oks lang pero pag-mabilis na dalawang kamay na, at kailangan naka-focus ka din sa pagda drive para iwas aksidente.8)8)8)8)8)

kumang yung left arm ng driver kaya laging naka patong sa driver side window. :mrgreen:

usually pag long driving nakakangawit, kaya pahinga yung 1 braso. tapos yung 1 naman. den pag hataw 2 n gamit ko. :D

[crawdaddy]

understandable naman pag long driving mas lalo na pag sa mga highways... pero pag sa EDSA?

[boyscout]

sa sobrang traffic dito sa manila normal lang cguro na magmaneho ng isang kamay dahil nakakangawit.
lalo na yung mga taxi driver na buong araw nagmamaneho natural na mangawit ang mga kamay non kakamaneho di ba.
ako man pag natraffic na humigit 1 oras eh nag one-hand driving lang para di mangawit pareho kong kamay.

[kiper]

ako left hand sa wheel tapos right hand sa gf ko.. este sa kambiyo..
di pwede sa bintana eh sira na power windows ko ayaw na bumaba.. hehe..:mrgreen:

what's the big deal with driving with 1 hand, e kung power steering yun car eh.

most of the time i drive with only the left hand city driving kahit sa edsa or slex/nlex. my right hand most of the time is holding my wife's left hand e hehehe! automatic so di ko na need mag-shift. up to 80kph basta straight driving lang one hand driver lang ako. pag napagod left hand right hand naman.

i hold the wheel at the 6 o'clock position, patulak ang ikot ko ng manibela instead of the driving school lesson na pakabig. pag nasa 10 o'clock/2 o'clock position kasi pakabig yun, walang force. pag patulak may force so madali lang. remember 1 handed steering yan ha kaya it's at the 6 o'clock para pantay ang ikot whether turning left or right.

pag nag 90kph na ako or when weaving in and out of edsa then i do 2 hands na. o kaya naman pag nagalit si misis na 1 hand lang gamit ko kahit mabagal takbo yun tinatapon nya sa akin yun right hand ko hehehehe! obey ako syempre baka walang sugar at honey sa gabi e hehehe!

[boybi]

wala kayo sa big brother ko! one hand and one foot driving sya! manual tranny pa!

nakasalubong ko minsan sa highway, cruising sya, hindi naka-stop. me hawak na cigarette yung left hand, tapos nakapatong sa me aircon vents tabi ng door yung left foot!!! :lol::mrgreen:

me, pareho ke yebo8, one hand at 6 o'clock position. pag napansin ni misis, two hands na. tapos balik one hand ulit! :mrgreen:
