Paano ang posisyon ng kamay mo sa steering wheel pag nag drive ka?
alam ko ung iba, 1 hand on the steering wheel at 12 o'clock position, and other on the legs:naughty2:

iba iba;
normal driving (straight and slight curves)
= 1 hand at 6 o'clock position, while the other hand is on the stick
= 1hand at 3 oclock position while the other hand (arm) is resting on the armrest of the driver side door (ofcourse he he)
curvy roads = 2hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position respectively
by the way i think it's not advisable to put your hand at 12 o'clock position since it will hinder the airbag when activated.just my cent
Pag long drives, open highway, usually both hands at 6 o'clock position. Mas relax ang biyahe pag ganun ang position. Pero sa gitgitan at traffic syempre, konting alisto lang.......11 & 12 oclock hand position, respectively.
We have A/T on both cars. So, I have my right hand on the 5 o'clock with my right elbow resting on my thigh. My left elbow rests on the open window with the left hand tapping to music. But, it's available when turning or when extra grip is required.
Ya gotta have the "porma" stance with shades. It's best with an A/T.He He.
Add: Windows are open at this time of the year because it's not warm enough to require A/C and it gets too warm if the windows are closed.

left: 9-10 o'clock right: 2 o'clock but most of the time elsewhere..... stick shift eh![]()
There was this driving manual that I managed to read ages ago and it seemed from the UK driving methods. In the manual, it said that the hands should be position at 10min to 2 o'clock position or 15min to 3 o'clock position. This is so that you can have the greatest control of the steering wheel and have the use of both your hands in maneuvering your vehicle. Try typing "the highway code" on google.
my left hand almost always in the the 9oclock position. due to the headlight/signal light lever.
right hand differs depending on situation.
if a/t trans. right hand rest at 5oclock on hiways or easy driving. 3oclock on defensive driving or driving fast. holding a cellphone or changing cd's/radio stations on a lousy driving state. hehehe
if m/t. right hand usually on the shifter. specially on traffic or driving spiritedly. if highway driving, right hand is at 3oclock or 5oclock.
i make it a habit to always place both my hands sa SW.
9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
ako (M/T driver, never A/T)
daily driving - 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock position
highway (NLEX, relaxed straight roads) - 4 o'clock & 8 o'clock
Baguio-like roads & spirited driving - 2 o'clock & 10 o'clock
ayaw ko ng ganito kasi:
12 o'clock -- eto yung mahilig mag swerve sa traffic, hindi stable pag highway driving
6 o'clock -- maiipit balls ko pag nandito both hands ko![]()
usually have my have my left on 9 and my right on the shifter. dati lagi both hands on the SW pero lately kse mabagal lng ako mgpatakbo e. hehehe.....
the "correct" position yata is 10 and 2 oclock eh, sinabi daw nung driving tutor nya when my cousin was getting her license in the U.S.
kung one hand naman, personally i can maneuver easier sa 6 oclock than 12 oclock using my left. i can also shift using the same hand, mahirap kase maabala yung right hand eh lalo na kung busy ito.![]()
I don't recall reading that on the Highway Code, mang ponso ... IIRC it's on the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) book "Driving - The Essental Skills".
As for me, I still keep my hands on the wheel at the 10 and 2'oclock positions, long after I passed the test that required it.
