How do you hold the steering wheel? >10 and 2 here.

12 and gear shift. Bad habit I know.

>>16814503
Most of the time I tend to hold it at 10 with my left hand and just kind of keep the index finger and thumb of my right at 5 o'clock. Never seen anyone drive like this so I feel kind of bad.

>>16814516

bad for what? i do that all the time. never had an accident in almost 10 years of driving

>>16814525
if your airbag goes of for any reason you will punch yourself in the face at the speed of a bullet, broken hand, broken face.

>>16814503
hope you don't have an airbag
>>16814516
>>16814525
you shouldn't rest your hand on the gearshift. it will cause you to wear out your shift fork fingers and synchro sleeve.

>>16814531
what the fuck

>>16814531
this is how fat people hold the wheel

I thought 10 and 2 was the standard? How is that bad with an airbag?

I really wish faggots like you would go away

Btw guys, don't drive your car. Particles will eat away at the paint

10 and 2, unless I got a bird in the passenger seat, in that case only my left hand is on the wheel and it hovers between 7 and 5, or occassionally 11 and 1, because girls don't wanna fuck some dude that drives like a white guy.

hurr im retard so i rest my hand on shifter because DURR thats a wear item anyway, i mean who gives a fuk if it wears out quicker than it should, and while im at it i should leave my foot on the clutch because fuck clutch wear

>>16814547
fat fuck here
I throw it around like how your dad does with your mom

>>16814560
Sorry fag, but this is 100% true, the lateral pressure WILL wear out the fingers and synchro. This is like driving a manual 101 dipshit.

I hold it at the 6 or 10 when shifting gears depending on if I'm turning or not. 8 and 4 while cruising down the highway.

at 9.
or 12.

>>16814503
9 and 3 is more comfortable for me.

>>16814578
>>16814571
except it DOESN'T. Unless you're a retard who is literally keeping it on the edge and putting pressure in any direction but down

>>16814555
When the air bag deploys your hands are between the force of an explosion and your face. 10 and 2 was the old way to hold a steering wheel, now nine and three is taught. nine and three is also how they teach you to hold the wheel in driving schools. just look at race car drivers, none do 10 and 2.

left hand @ 7/8 with elbow on door armrest for max comfy

9 & 3 when i gotta go fast

never place my right hand on the shifter because i'm literally more concerned with someone calling me out for resting my hand on the shifter instead of wearing out the shift forks

>>16814591
You physically cannot put pressure just down. Its a fucking lever at an angle riding on a ball you dumbass. Even the slightest amount of lateral pressure that your fat arm can't perceive is multiplied due to, you know, being a fucking lever.

Whatever, wear out your transmission you lazy fuck. Automatics are made for people like you.

>>16814606
Funny I've been driving like that for many thousands of miles and I've never had to fix a tranny

but yeah keep regurgitating every urban myth you hear

>>16814621
Stupid people are always blissfully unaware of how stupid they really are.

>>16814621
whew, thousands of miles. hold on guys we have an expert teenager here to teach us about driving a manual

its not a myth dumbass. ask any mechanic, or maybe even google it. in time, you run the chance of you fork and synchro going bye bye. get back to me in a few years and tell me how well your fat mans arm rest has worked out for you.

do what you want, but don't spread your ignorance.

I already said the lateral pressure wears out the shifter fork fingers and sleeve of the synchro. eventually your car will pop out of gear.

how god damned ignorant are you? oh wait, you've literally driven thousands of miles. didn't realize I was talking to an expert here.

>>16814520
I do something similar, right on 2 and the left arm on the rest with the index and thumb on like 8 or 9

I put my right hand right on the middle of the wheel so that when the airbag deploys it fucking shatters my arm

Who 4 & 6 master race here?

>>16814767
7 & 5. sometimes just 6.

gotta rest my arms on my legs. 9 & 3 is only when I have to squeeze in a narrow area or something

dude a lever is a simple machine and well understood. he's right, just accept that he's more careful than you and move on.

8 and 4 is objectively correct.

who else here just 5 o'clock?

10 with the arm resting on the window

I always like to keep my hand at 13:37.

While reading through this thread, some of these posts made me think that you people are fucking retarded, like this one for example >>16814805

Then I remembered that Amerifats drive on the left side of the car.

in order from hektik to max comfy

if im one handing, then left hand anywhere from 7 to 11

if both hands, then 2&10

if im smoking while driving like a cunt, then right hand on 3

>>16814503
I rest my left arm on the side of the car, holding the steering wheel at 9, and rest my right arm on my lap, holding the steering wheel at 5. This way I can always switch gearsticles quickly.

>>16814503
With my knees of course. How else can I hold my stubbie and Chiko roll?

>>16814503
Sometimes 10 & 2, sometimes 7 & 2

>>16814687

make sure you don't walk beneath any ladders on the way home, doublenigger

Well, if I'm cruising, I go with my left arm resting on the windowsill and right arm at 12. I pretty much exclusively drive with the window down, even on the freeway.


When I gotta go fast I switch to 9 and 3

I put my palm(s) on where the horn symbol is, and rest my fingers on the top of the middle part of the wheel.

I poke my dick between the spokes of the steering wheel and gyrate with my hips. It's not the most comfortable on long trips because you have to stay fully erect for hours, but it is the most precise and safe method.

Did you think about this for more than a minute?
It's a lever that works in 2 dimensions. The 3rd dimension (vertical) has support otherwise the stick would fall into your gearbox.

Right hand on 4 and left on the hand brake.
