Driving With One Hand

[mcbry]

ako usually one hand sa steering wheel and the other hand sa shift knob. gusto ko kasi palaging ready isang kamay ko sa shift knob para mabilis incase i need to change gear. i always do this even driving a right hand drive car.

[typhoon]

Wouldn't resting your hand on the shift knob place additional pressure on the drive gears, wearing them out faster? :confused:

Totoo ba to ser? Pag mabagal takbo nasa kambyo din right hand ko e...

[wren]

one hand din ako mag-drive (unless high speed), tsaka nakataas din yung left foot ko (on the seat). so whenever i get first time passengers, medyo nerbyoso sila.

[nugundam93]

one-handed ako...lalo na sa pajero. i use my left hand only for control almost all the time since mas malakas right ko (right-handed ako...and walang manyak hirit muna ok? hahahaha!), i only use the right too when on tight turns.

[oldblue]

i drive with one hand most of the time coz i'm left handed. pag automatic dala ko, pahinga na lang right hand or kung anu man maabot sa right passenger side hehehe

[tinky]

I drive with just my right hand on the steering wheel
sometimes naman yung right knee ko lang sa ilalim ng manibela ..

[kyle618]

ako 1 hand if slight changes lang but 2 hands if turning or cornering hard. high speed two hands... slow speed 1 hand.

[empy]

pati pala yung number of hands on the steering wheel pinupuna na din pala :bwahaha:


i've always driven with my left hand steering - it's a habit from all the years driving m/t cars and being a busy gear shifter. when i drive a/t my right hand suddenly has nothing to do, so it keeps itself busy...drinking the coffee, changing the radio, resting on the armrest, inching up the skirt

*m54powered, sometimes I only use two fingers of the hand pa nga eh ...

to steer the wheel pag relaxed driving. :hihihi:

My sentiments exactly...

Mas sanay nga rin ako ng left hand on steering, right hand on shifter, lalo na sa manual, in city traffic. Ayan tuloy kahit matic madalas ganun. Pag highway two hands kasi bihirang mag shift.

I do this most of the time when my I'm driving straight and my speed is 60 kph or below. When I change lane, I use two hands, the left and the right, hold them apart softly and . . .

kanina, on our way home from snowboarding, i was driving with my usual left hand sa seven o'clock position. may lumampas sa amin na malaking SUV and a gob of snow came flying sa windshield ko. sa gulat ko, napuntang bigla yung mga kamay ko sa 10 and 2 position. tawanan lahat yung mga pasahero ko.

I usually drive with my left hand only during traffic (around 10-30KPH) with my left elbow resting on the side door....whats wrong with it? nakakangawit kasi na parehas na andon sa manibela yung dalawang kamay mo tapos wala namang ginagawa..

pero kapag mabilis na eh dalawang kamay na.....

[ian_rex]

ako hindi ko na ginagawa. dati oo. pero ngayon hindi na. iba pa rin ang handa, saka isa pa, hindi na proper driving kung isang kamay lang ang nasa steering wheel.

[Isuzoom]

my left hand do the driving, my right index finger busy inside my nose.

[Josh0027]

ako i only do left hand sa steering 9'o clock and yung right hand nasa stick pag nasa stop-go traffic ako. Pag hi spsed na dalawa na ang kamay ko sa wheel.

As per the Mitsubishi Pajero manual, Mitsubishi warns against driving with one hand resting on the shifter (for manual transmission vehicles). Not for safety reasons, but to avoid unecessary wear on the shift forks of the transmission.
