Is it against the rules to steer with one hand?
1 Answers
Steering with one hand is not considered a violation. Here are specific details about steering with one hand: 1. Manual transmission: Driving with one hand on the steering wheel is not a traffic violation. Many manual transmission vehicles require the driver to shift gears with one hand while steering with the other. If this were considered a violation, manual transmission vehicles would effectively be banned from the road. However, driving with one hand poses significant risks. At high speeds, if an emergency occurs, the steering wheel can shake violently, making it difficult to control with just one hand. It is best to keep both hands on the steering wheel to handle unexpected situations. 2. Always keep both hands on the steering wheel: The correct method is to always keep both hands on the steering wheel, maintaining the most alert driving posture. Even when driving a manual transmission vehicle, the right hand should return to the steering wheel immediately after shifting gears to ensure the vehicle's direction is always under the control of both hands for safety.
