Corner coming up, T intersection, get there by maybe coming down to second or just come to stop and slip into first. (oh you indicated as normal before going into second).

Go around corner and cycle through gears.

Which part of that did you need two hands for?

Reversing out of my drive way I need 2 hands
Full lock right, half turn left, full lock right, full lock left. thats before I even get to the street. I may be able to do it 1 handed, but it makes it much easier to use 2.

Anyway I didn't say someone cannot drive with 1 hand. The problem with this is she admits that she steers with her knees while changing gears. Which means she is steering with 0 hands.

Sure under normal driving I could use 1 hand and drive a manual, but throw in a tricky, sudden situation and I can tell you driving with your knees is not going to help.


Cars often drift to one side when you let go of the wheel. I have noticed the road and the speed affects how quickly the car veers.
