Am I a douche bag for driving with just one hand on the steering wheel? My friend just told me driving like that makes me look like a douche. (I drive a manual and normally have my other hand on the shifter.)

Your friend is 100% right.
No need to hold the shifter all the time unless you have a fastandfuriouslikegearbox!

and if you under or over steer you’ll be way more precise with both hands on the wheel

i think most of manual drivers prefer to keep one hand on the shifter…cause when you are driving in the city you dont over and under steer man…

I drive quite a lot with just one hand, mostly in the city and nobody mentioned that to me before… What’s so douchey about it anyway?

That’s not douchy at all. Because you’re not driving at the limit the whole time. And for the city you really need to up and downshift a lot, because of the traffic lights. Douchebags, in my opinion are the ones who listen their music volumed up to the max with open windows and lean their hand out of it, while they try to look cool and relaxed. Now THAT’S a douchebag. Or the ones who tailgate you on the Autobahn/highway/motorway etc. I hate those guys!

I drive a manual, too.
Most of the time i had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the shifter, like you.
But if i change to “Racemod”, then both hands have to be on the steering weehl.

You’re a douche if your hand is at the very top of the wheel and you do the gangsta slouch. Otherwise, no. Your friend is probably a moron who doesn’t drive manual. (no offense)
