    So, I figure we all have different styles, lets see what one is used the most. I drive most the time one handed and the other hand resting on the shifter.

    My Granddad tho came from a generation of no power steering and kept both hands on the wheel so he did not chance losing fingers.

    I drive one hand at a time, when one hand gets tired I switch.

    If I remember the video correctly, there are certain middle eastern drivers who drive 'from' the sleeper with reins tied to the steering wheel, and the co-driver filming it... didn't see that choice on the list.

    I don't know if I should be scared or proud that 7 people so far managed to train their dog to drive the truck. :eek:

    I drive with my right big toe while scrolling through my Facebook page and updating TTR. I use the Force for shifting.
