I noticed the other day....I drive differently than my Dad.

*NOTE* I am Canadian, so it might be reversed for RH-drive Brit-heritage cars.  But I am assuming steering wheel left-side of auto here...

I am first option, I predominantly drive with my left-hand on the wheel.  I think this is because I was trained on a 5-speed/manual transmission?

Meanwhile, Pops has right-hand on the wheel.  I think it's because when he was young, he was into cruising the strip.  He often has the window down, with left-arm resting on sill.  And he drives automatics.

Anyway, I was just wondering how you drive? 

If you are a perfectly law-abiding citizen, please choose option 3 with no remorse, the world needs order...and good drivers. 

Option 4 (knee) is for those who like to scarf big burritos while driving.  Also for those who like to do the crossword.  Or live in a megalopolis like New York or Boston where you have to fill up every three days, but also replace brakes every three months due to insane gridlock. 

Option 5 is for guys in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, North/South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, western Kansas, eastern Colorado, etc...we know that all you need to do is tie a rope to the steering wheel, with a rock at the end, and set the cruise-control.

How do YOU drive a vehicle?

Left on the wheel, right leaning on the shift stick.

Yeah for people who drive real cars this is the only way to do it.

Left hand with manual, right hand with automatic.  The automatic gear shift level doesn't feel comfortable in the hand so I rest left arm on door and steer with right.

It depends, on longer rides I tend to swap to whatever is comfortable. It is rare, however, that I use both hands at the same time.

mostly left hand, but when I want a cig I use might right hand and hold my cig on the left. If I'm smoking and I get a phone call. Cig goes in left hand while on the wheel and right hand to use the phone.

left hand, unless i'm driving a right wheel car in which case its stupid to try and do everything with my left. basically all UK people are gonna say right  hand on wheel and the rest of us left.

Null vote. Either 8-4 or 10-4. More comfortable.

If one-handed it would depend if you drive a car with the steering wheel on the left or right. It's on the right in NZ, so when I drive relaxed I generally do so with my right hand either at 12 or six.

Mostly drive with right hand somewhere on the wheel, but I will switch occasionally throughout the drive. Just whatever is comfortable at the time, I guess.

Null; I drive equally with both hands. Sometimes both on the while, sometimes left hanging out the window while right is on, sometimes left on while right on the armrest. There are occasions when I go no hands, but only briefly; the car drifts slightly (but not enough to need realignment) and I live in the city, so no wide open roads for me.
