No hard and fast rule leh.

It is not a traffic offence. In other words, it does not break any traffic rules and regulation.

digicharat SG

if you are driving at a high speed you are putting yourself at risk.

Mr De Souza should get a life and stop infesting St forums with his petty complaints. How much rigid does he want singapore to be? The highways here or expressways rather only limit to 90kmh which is still within acceptable limits of a person’s ability to control the car.

High speed I usually drive with 1 hand + 2 fingers. The left hand is always on my lap, only 2 finger is long enough to reach the steering wheel. Above speed limit, I drive with 2 hands, because once I almost lose control when at high speed, 1 side of the car kanna water puddle. But if moving off or 60kph, I sometime drive with 1 hand on the door, the other changing gear and steering. Twisted Evil

Does Mr Souza mean that drivers must fix both their hands on the steering wheel at all times while driving?

I wonder if Mr Souza and those who say it is illegal, change gears (if driving a manual) while driving.

What BS!!!!

dragg SG

compare the difference.

one hand on the steering wheel and the other alternating between the steering wheel and the gear change. (when necessary) if you are not changing gears both your hands will be on the steering wheel - thats considered 2 hands on the steering wheel.

but if you drive with one hand, the other alternating between the gear change and somewhere else (on your lap, on the window etc) - thats driving with one hand on the steering wheel.

i dont know for sure if it is illegal. but one hand driving is more comfortable but certainly more dangerous.

ad23 SG

hahaha! i wanted to say that as well.

but .. well .. i do drive with one hand most of the time on the expressways.

I think what Souza is trying to make a point that steering a car with one hand is dangerous. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who doesn't know that!!

But driving (on a straight stretch of road) with one hand....? Most of us do that.... fiddling with whatever we do while driving is common. How to make it an offence to drive with one hand? How to enforce such law?

Souza likes writing letters. We like answering him as well Rolling Eyes

Drive with one hand more relax n easy compared with two hands..

Each hand can take turn to play the role of steering when one hand gets tired, the other take over..

Two hands on the steering, tired...if both hands tired, rest both hands?

siaokao SG

siaokao SG

sinicker SG

hmm.. what letter is next for him?

"macdonalds delivery guy carries big bag on bike. obstruction."
"cyclist uses thumb to change gear while on the road."
"boy in MRT train asks mom where babies come from. mom answered from the navel."

huaqing SG

i agree to a certain extent that driving the car with one hand is against the law.

cornyfish2000 SG

I drive with one hand too, unless i’m driving at high speeds. My left hand is usually on the gear lever, though i drive an auto car.
