What's wrong with doing that?

When I'm eating my hamburger with the lot I steer with my knees....

Bloody hell.
Has anyone seen a newsagent delivering papers out of a car.
I had a newsagency in my younger days and only ever touched the steering wheel to go round a corner and straighten up. Then it was grab a paper with the left hand, transfer it to the right and..............throw!
Repeat for 1100 times each morning and about 400 every afternoon.

Easy peasey.

^ Yeah, and how am I supposed to play the drums and air guitar while playing loud music in the car (like I did today on the way to collecting Trish from the airport!)

I thought of this thread when I did it and made sure I had my Guitar slung low!

Welcome back, Trish.
Kylie will be doing some short spells in Katherine over the next few months as one of the regulars down there has lost her licence.

Trish says hi and thanks (she had a good trip)

I checked the GPS she got to 137 KPH in the Yaris

Nothing wrong with driving with your hands off the wheel, but only in low traffic and at a low speed - not as fast as this dude was going!

Sorry, don't agree with that. Is it a make-up application function

I take my hands off the wheel at times, to undo the cap off a bottle of Pepsi or something. I have no idea how to steer with my knees like some people!

Immediate ban here.

Does not matter if going slow or fast.

Only time to remove both hands from steering wheel is when stopped!

I did that once on a pushbike.. I hit a pothole and had a nasty fall!

Doggie 1 · **Reply #20: January 09, 2014, 11:04:50**

I did that once on a town bike.
It was OK because being in town, I wasn't riding far.
