Could you not have made an actual poll?

Errrmmm. Yes. Why not start an actual poll?

Is the term "FAIL" or something?

Both hands on joystick..

But really..? Right arm - wheel, left arm... armrest.

Both hands on the wheel at about 9 and 3 if I'm "pressing on"

I favour right arm on the door, left arm on the armrest. Steer with whatever reaches the wheel at the time. Comfort before saftey for me.

^^^ agreed a poll should really have a poll option on it.

No option for "with knees"?

Depends. I'll fidget between both hands on wheel, one on the window, or fiddling with the radio, depending on the conditions. Usually I have a hand on the gearstick because my car has so little torque.

Right arm on door for long steady driving. Seat-back one wind forward and quarter to three for my favourite on/off ramps and windy bits.

ETA: Thats assuming Im not surfing PH and eating a Maccas at the time...

Quarter to three. That means my inputs are balanced. If you use 10 to 2 then as you steer you "fall" from side to side with a non linear ip/op relationship, whereas quarter to three means the "up" push from one hand is exactly the same as the "down" push from the other throughout wheel movement.
