You need two hands on the wheel at all times to be a safe driver.
When driving manual, one hand is on the stick.
Checkmate
No it shouldn't be, as resting your hand on the stick places load on the shift linkage, which often results in wear on the shift forks as they are pressed into the shift hubs inside the transmission gearbox. The plastic forks pads may wear through and this can result in harsh shifting and misalignment of the forks.
So no. Your hand shouldn't be on the stick except to shift.
Checkmate. Try again son.
Right, so when your hand is on the stick then it's not on the wheel.
You failed to refute my point and still said "checkmate try again."
Sad!
"When driving a manual,one hand is on the stick"
This is stated as an absolute. You didn't say "one hand is off the wheel for 2 seconds" or "one hand is on the stick during shifting".
Because you stayed it as an absolute, my saying that you should not rest your hand on the stick does indeed refute your point.
Checkmate again. 2-0. Try again son. I love hat tricks.
Oh so you're attacking a semantic implication which, as a manual driver, I figure you understood, instead of the core argument?
And you're calling that a win?
Sad, really. I honestly figured it went without saying that obviously your hand is not permanently on the stick at all times while driving. But I guess it did need to be stated. ---
