Interesting question

Which hand do you drive with?

I'm a righty, but I can only drive with my left hand. The right hand just can't handle turns.

On the other hand, I can't do anything else left handed.

Anyone else drive w/ their opposite hand/arm?

Same here. I actually thought that this was pretty common. I guess we will find out with the responses in this topic.

Of course, we are supposed to drive with both hands (10 and 2).

Actually, on the occasion that I decide to open things up a little and fly down the highway at 100mph I do subscribe to the (10 and 2) method. For normal cruising my left hand is on the bottom of the steering wheel below the stereo controls. When needing to make a fast turn or a sharp turn my left hand moves to the top of the steering wheel.

Sometimes I will drive with both hands on the bottom of the steering wheel.

I'm a righty, but I drive with my left. My right is used for holding my gf's hand.

I'm exactly the same way. When i'm driving, my right hand is usually on the shift knob. I guess you get used to it when you drive a stick too (i also have a integra GSR) When I first started driving, i was taught that the left hand should be the dominant hand.

I too am a righty but usually keep the left hand on the wheel and right on the shifter. I do also have a tendancy to drive with both hands, one on each top side of the wheel mid-section.
