I voted both hands on 10 and 2 because that's how I drive on curvy roads and that's most of my driving!

When just cruising on a straight, boring highway I sometimes rest my left elbow on the door rest and hold the wheel at 7 or 8 O'clock.

Always 9 and 3 in the S, unless I'm feeling particularly lazy. Also, I don't get all the 10/2. I realize that was taught in driver's ed for the longest time, but if you're trying to do the safest/optimal position, 9/3 is it.

i voted 10/2, but most of the time im at 9/3. if im cruising in low traffic i will rest my left arm on the top of the door and grip the wheel at 9ish, and drape my right arm on the center console. i do my best to keep my hand off of the shifter unless im changing gears.

Too many variations to really get into, depending on my mood and how/where I am driving. Most of the time it's 9+3ish though.

this. 10 and 2 doesn't feel right.

I voted other because I drive with my knees while I text on my cell-phone.

3 and 9 always for me, even when I'm driving my land yacht.
