New research reveals what your steering wheel hand position says about you

You might think that that the way you hold your steering wheel is a harmless part of life, it probably comes so naturally that you wouldn't even give it a second thought. 

What you might not know is that the way a driver positions their hands at the wheel, can reveal a lot more about a person than you might first think; including their core personality traits.

New research from Select Car Leasing alongside some of the UK's leading psychotherapists has determined the nine most common steering wheel hand positions, and what they can truly reveal about a person. 

Take a look at the graphic below and find out the shocking clues to your personality that you could be revealing, every time you get behind the wheel.

This is my second lease car through Select Car Leasing. My Account Manager was Jason Hattingh and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to deal with. From start to finish Jason was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for him during my journey. Everything was clearly explained to me, all phone calls were answered quickly, I received swift responses if I needed information and assistance. Jason’s after sales service proved to be just as positive when I had a minor technical problem which he resolved immediately for me. Jason is an excellent ambassador for Select Car Leasing and his Customer Service skills and support provided are indeed second to none. Many thanks Jason
