Two hands on the wheel at all times unless changing gear or pressing a button.
You lose something like 70% of control of the car in an emergency situation with only One hand on the wheel
That means you would hit a child that ran out in front of you rather than safely steer around him/her.

But doesnt McRae drive most of the time with one hand and I think he still likes to use a manual change (or at least one of the small levers beside the wheel) to rest his other hand on??
I have only started to use two hands since moving to Switzerland where we drive on the "wrong" side of the road (right side). I think maybe its because I am right handed and holding the wheel with the left hand feels wrong after learning to drive in Aus where we drive on the left.
