I think my thumb is not engaged when I'm driving left-handed. I usually have it at the 12:00 O'clock position on the wheel and know I some times don't even have my fingers around the thing. I just drape my wrist over it.

If I'm in the two-handed mode, all digits are fully engaged (on the wheel, that is - to avoid a mistaken impression from any of you).

You have 20 years on me Raoul, it's just a habit I got into driving our delivery trucks through rutted up job sites over the last 18 years.

Well done, buddy! I didn't think there was any way to twist what I posted, but you succeeded!

Depends on how long I'm driving for, but I always have at least one hand on the wheel. Already messed up my truck once for being careless, no need to fly off the road because my knee can't react fast enough.
