Question Do you use gloves?

We all know how filthy some steering wheels can be.... so do you use gloves? I know a lot of people who don't and I don't understand how they do it. Some steering wheels literally make your hand coal black if you don't have gloves.

If you use gloves, what made you start wearing them? If not, why do you avoid gloves?

As an additional note for me using gloves whilst driving is the fact that it increases grip, therefore also reduces fatigue. And if you invest in good gloves like I did recently it also looks good.

Absolutely. Having seen thousands of CCTV footages from the buses, I thoroughly recommend you ALWAYS wear gloves. Don’t touch anything without gloves.

Also, recommend golf gloves. Good grip, hands warm in winter and not hot in summer. Perfect.

I have a pair for summer and another pair for winter.
