Hands

thewizard16 · V-12

I'm nearly ambidextrous, but I'm primarily right handed. When I drive single handed, I drive with my left, though. I don't ride bikes anymore, so I don't know what to tell you about that. I used to go mountain biking, but I ran out of time to do such things.

I'm right handed, but I steer with my left because unlike certain wimps, my car requires the right hand free.

So your Escort's a manual? Kewl, I'd like to have the Grand Am a manual but it's not

but that's where my hand always is.

Where did you think my hand would be kept busy while I was driving?

I don't own a cell phone. I may need to get one though, I don't want to get stranded if I ever return to Kilmarnok.

I use my right hand for a cell phone, the radio, or just to lean on the arm rest. My cars weren't availible (with the options I wanted) as a manual.

Kilmarnok is an odd name for a town.

I'm a lefty though am pretty ambidextrous (typical of lefties since it's a right-handed world). I drive with my left hand on the wheel and the right on the shifter (or the wheel when cruising down the highway). If I ride a bicycle with one hand, it's usually with my right. A habit I picked up from my motorcycle experience, since the throttle is on the right handlebar so you have to drive with your right when riding a motorcycle with one hand.

I was never able to ride a motorcycle one-handed, no matter which hand it was.

Someone let you ride a motorcycle?

Why is that surprising? I had a '70s Honda, I don't live in town, I rode it around on our twenty acres and on the gravel roads.

I'm right handed. I drive with my left hand on the steering wheel and right on the shifter, the way it should be.

I've noticed that people who drive manuals seem to be a lot more adimant in their opinions of their transmissions than those who drive automatics.

That's because there is no logical reason on why an auto is better (I'm not saying either is better because it's a matter of preference).
