    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

    I apply the 10-2 positions at higher speeds and when full concentration is required; one palm during manuevering or slowly backing up...
    On idle or relaxed mode elbows on arm rest while in stop and go city driving the 6 o'clock position naman.

    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.

    You could be right there, StraightSix. As I said, I came across those literature ages ago.... Lost brain cells might be getting the better of me. Guess I am showing my age now, aren't I?

    OT: We could be on the same boat ... I also have my doubts that's why I used the words "recall/IIRC".

    Old Fart - There are two signs of old age.
    Old Geezer - What?
    Old Fart - One is forgetfulness.
    Old Geezer - What's the other one?
    Old Fart - Uuuuh. I can't remember.
