Shocking question. Why...

[Prunepicker]

... do guys drive with their left hand on the steering wheel and their right arm
over the back of the seat next to them when there isn't a babe in the seat?

In the words of the King of Siam, "tis a puzzlement."

Changing positions. There are only so many places to put one's arms, you know.

I drive like that. It's just comfortable.

It feels weird to drive with my right hand even though I'm right handed.

That makes some sense. I said some sense.

That's a good one. Were you on the Hefner Speedway today? That's where
I discovered the question.

Must not have a console then.

Probably has something to do with the door being on your left side. Would the same hold true in countries that have RHD?

[Garin]

Drive with my right unless I'm using my knee.

[boscorama]

I switch hands left and right (get it?). Like putting my left arm out the window on a decent day.

Jersey Boss,
I have driven thousands of miles in Great Britain and Ireland and it doesn't really change what I do with my hands/arms.

Now Prune, just because you can't see the babe, that doesn't mean she ain't there in the mind of the driver.
Some folks, they daydream.

Copycat society? Just sayin. I probably started doing it cause that's how everyone I rode with when I was a kid drove. Obviously you start out at 10 and 2 but everyone fades away from that over time so it's my guess that subconscious wins out.

Because it's too cold to hang your left arm out the window.
