Why do old drivers like to drive with one hand?

Driving school teachers teach us to drive with both hands, not with one hand, but ask ourselves how many of these teachers drive with both hands, so novices will slowly drive with one hand when they see others driving with one hand.

It's easier to manipulate with one hand

At present, most people who drive manual gears drive with one hand, except for a few novices who are not used to or afraid to drive with one hand. Manual gears often need to be shifted. If you drive with both hands all the time, you will be tired or confused, and you will often be in a hurry. Driving for an hour may be more tiring than walking.

If you drive with one hand, your left hand holds the steering wheel and your right hand is in gear, the division of labor is clear and the operation is simple, especially in the case of accelerating overtaking or complicated road conditions, you can realize rapid gear shifting.

It is safer to drive with one hand.

As soon as this is said, I believe that drivers who have to drive by the book will strongly object, saying that this behavior is dangerous driving, but it is not.

You must learn to brake before driving. There are three levels of braking.

1, directly step on the brakes to the end, directly step on the dead, so it is generally a novice or emergency operation.

Step on the brake back and forth until the speed decreases. In this way, you usually know the parking position in advance and stop slowly.

3. Use gears and brakes to slow down or stop. This method is used by drivers who drive big cars, especially cars full of goods. This method must be used to slow down or stop.

If you drive with both hands, you will generally not reach the third situation. Even if you do, there will be dangerous situations, and it is faster and more convenient to operate with one hand. After all, the road to driving is not smooth, but more complicated, so one-handed operation is particularly important.

You must use both hands under special circumstances.

For example, when driving at high speed, the speed is generally above 80, and the gear position is generally in the fifth gear. Basically, there is no need to shift gears, just the steering wheel, throttle and brake. Because the speed is relatively fast, the car body will swing a lot when the steering wheel is slightly moved. At this time, it is difficult to control the steering wheel with one hand. So when driving at high speed or high speed, be sure to hold the steering wheel with both hands.
