Long trips - usually right hand on the wheel resting my elbow on the window sill, left arm on console
Short trips/round town - 2 hands
Seat in the ideal position we got taught at a defensive driving course

In the VT I had the seat wound back to nearly touching the back seat. Im 6foot 4 and have a ****ed back and it was the only way I could get comfortable enough to drive more then a few minutes. Id pretty much eliminate the seat and support my own back, everyone use to criticise.

In the ute I cant do that, so its just as far back as it can go, and its quite comfy and doesnt hurt my back.
Highway driving, 1 hand on the wheel resting on the window sill, other hand resting on the arm rest.
Town/roo territory, both hands on the wheel.

Since i mostly do freeway k's it's one hand on the wheel, other hand on the console (i guess i'm preparing for my manual gearbox LOL). If a police is around though both hands go on the wheel.

If it's a long highway drive, cruise control and sometimes no hands, but most of the time one hand (i think).

Around town shifts from one to two (depending on how many lights [again preperation for manual? or i just never outgrew the manual stage?]).

i have nowhere to rest my arms in the bmw, so its generally right hand on wheel, left hand rests on leg or gearshift, but if its busy traffic or rain, its 2 hands on wheel. seat isnt laid back, cant stand that.

wagon is generally right hand on wheel, left on console.
