    I have a question out of curiosity, what type of driver are you ?
    let me rephrase that, do you drive with your left hand only , do you drive with your right hand only? Or do you drive with both hands on the steering wheel?

    2 knees on the steering wheel at all times.

    Seriously, I use as little input as possible, in most modern cars it shows "please hold steering wheel" warning all the time. I barely hold it.

    My alignments are just that good :evil:

    While passive aggressively tailgating left lane campers with my turn signal on, I usually use my left hand

    My 08 taco was like that. Alignment was perfect and I barely ever had to make any adjustment driving down a straight road. The steering on my new truck is really sensitive to little adjustments, it just has a lighter feel and responds more to any little movement. It took some getting used to but now it’s just normal.

    I drive a Miata.
    Two hands when the AC is on, but if the weather's nice:







    I'm an ambidextrous driver. Each hand/knee/foot/gut/whatever takes a turn at the wheel depending on what mood I'm in.

    Last week I was making a right hand turn onto a street. There was another pick up going the other way stoped waiting to make a left turn onto the street. Instead of having their left turn signal on. They had the right one on.

    All of the above. I’m one with my truck :cool:

    Different situations, different driving or “operational” styles.

    I adapt well to changing conditions :bikewheelie2:
