the cooler you think your hand position makes you look, the less good of a driver you are. the best driver will use the most boring, normal hand position which offers the most control.

@xtelevisionset a manual gear stick. We aren't idiots who only know how to drive automatic.

This video seems to have attracted the most controversy. I generally do keep my hands at 10 & 2 and use pull-push most of the time except manoeuvring and slow cornering. Some of the commenters think one hand on the gear stick is acceptable, I hate to see this. Even worse is one hand dangling out of an open window. Just sloppy driving in my opinion. Incidentally, as I drive an auto one hand on the selector stick would be pointless.

Cheers for the upload! I learnt the rotational steering technique as a learner (About 2 and a half years ago). However, I hear about all of these new kids going for there L's, and I always hear about their instructor complaining about the rotational steering technique, or at least say, never ever cross your hands - teaching them to shuffle the wheel "Inch-by-inch."

Other places I hear is that, it's up to the individual.

But apparently rotational is against the law here in Australia? >.<

@BahamaLouie the foot pedals are on the same side as the wheel lol just like on a left sided wheel

@enigmaPL my favorite hand position for most situations is left hand on the wheel at 7 or 8 o'clock with my wrist braced against my leg or knee and i steer with just my fingers and wrist. i was talking about these idiots that try to look like a gangster or vin diesel and their stability suffers. you can't feel for grip as well if your arm is straight and you're steering with your shoulder. that's all i meant.

@2trips 10:00 and 2:00 is FAR from a hand position with the most control...Having one hand on the wheel is not an attempt to be cool, and you have to lead a pretty boring life to think so. It's a relaxed but very controllable hand position if your one hand is between 9:00 and 12:00; and furthermore necessary with a manual.

Left hand @ 9:00 and right hand @ 3:00 is THE BEST hand position for control. To some it's known as the racing driver hand position.

@xtelevisionset And why does he keep moving his left leg?

[thegreeneyes01]

@xtelevisionset he is changing the gears.
