1- The Minimalist
In your driving as in your personal life, you are a devout minimalist. You have a very low tolerance for unnecessary clutter in your space and like to surround yourself only with people who add value to your life. Your friends and colleagues always come to you for your sincere input on different topics.

2- The Joker
You don't take yourself nor life too seriously. You're always looking for the positive, funny angle to any situation. Tension and stress have no place in your mind, preferring instead to keep things cool and breezy. You'll reach for the steering wheel once your interference is needed, but you'll otherwise let the vehicle take its own route, and that's exactly how you treat life events too.

3- The Pacifier
Just like the positioning of your hands, your opinions and actions are always leveled out. You despise conflict, choosing to always be the Switzerland of your friends and family instead. If you ever have to face off with someone, you always choose to have an agreeable discussion instead of an all out fist fight.

4- The Idealist
Your Driver's Ed instructor told you to keep your hands at 10 and 2, and you'll be darned if you move that grip an inch out of place! You always pay close attention to detail, always wanting to control the events that happen around you. You believe that nothing worth doing is worth doing halfway, so you put your all into everything you do.

5- The Stressed Out Sally
Your death grip on that steering wheel is symbolic of your constantly alarmed state of mind. Your fears often get the best of you, making you subconsciously pick out the worst case scenario of every situation and gripping onto it as hard as you grip the steering wheel.

6- The Risk Taker
Putting yourself out there is second nature to you. You think the rewards are always worth the risks, which makes you never hold back from a new experience or adventure. Youre that one person in your friend group whos most likely to shout lets go skinny dipping! at 4 am in the morning.

7- Mr. President
You are at the helm of every ship, in the cockpit of every plane, and at the head of every meeting room table. Your leadership skills are often admired at home and at work. Deciding where to go, what to eat, and what to do over the weekend is always left to you, as your friends trust you and follow your lead without second thought.

8- The Cheerleader
Youre the type of person who is genuinely best friends with a large handful of people. You love supporting others in achieving their hopes and dreams, and would not think twice before leaving everything in favor of helping a friend in need. While you support others and lend your attention and advice to your friends, you are happy to sit back and let your own life take its course without too much stress.

9- Johnny Bravo
Youre the tough, cool guy, and you want everyone who drives by you to know it too. You like speeding, both in your real life and in your driving style. You exude an air of confidence and an overall vibe of not having a single care in the world. Your friends like to come to you for a good time, and you always deliver!

10- The Forklift
If those slowpokes on the road dont get out of your way, youll gladly blow their ears out with your honking. In your personal life, youre known as the busiest person- the one who does 30 minute coffee dates and dashes off to the next meeting without a glance back. If anyone needs anything done, youre definitely the guy for it.

fuck this shit

lol, only 5 out of the 10 pictures even have both hands on the wheel (one hand honking the horn doesn't count), and one of them is no hands...

WTF is this? Do people really drive with these stupid hand positions? That's fucking dangerous

Closest for me is #4, though my hands are a bit lower on the wheel than that. Not quite "9 and 3" as opposed to "10 and 2" but, yeah...

2, 3 or 8, dependant on how I want to kill myself.
---

7

Dont know what makes that so "presidential". It's honestly just so my arms rest on my legs. It's the most comfortable for me.
---

It depends on traffic and whether I'm in the city or on the highway.

Light traffic or on the highway, it's usually 1 or 7 with only one hand. In heavy traffic or in the city where I might need to maneuver quickly, it's usually 4.

always 4, i really try to try out new positions but im most comfortable with 4

Tl;dr

4. You know, the right way.
---

9 or 8 without the right hand
---

I switch between

1,3,4,6,8,9

But i voted 4. Even though 10-2 is considered dangerous and you should be at 9-3. I use 9-3 when i need to really focys on the road. Crazy driver, weathet condition, heavy traffic, small road, etc

It's a 1 but the hand is in the 7 position.

I've been driving as 2 for 14 years and have never had a single accident and have actively avoided idiots trying to crash into me

4 on small roads. 7 on freeways, but with thumbs outside the wheel (it's the best position in case of a crash)

Where's 3 and 9? The actual right way.

If you drive better when you don't even have hands on the steering wheel, that says more about your driving skills (or lack thereof) than the "merits" of no-hands driving

#1 is definitely the least-bad of the pics that don't use 2 hands, and better than some of the stupid 2-hand positions included, I'll agree.

It's 9 but with my right hand instead of my left. I do use my left hand while eating though.

Im most like 3 and 5 but I drive like 9.

The image must be out of the UK because I would do a reverse of number nine in an automatic.
