Let me refer you to my previous postFunny how we’re all alive. Or maybe it’s actually not so dangerous and some people are just misinformed.

I am curious by the intensity of feeling from the usual thumbs down brigade.I am curious by the intensity of your feelings regarding driving with gloves on.
OK, as you're not interested in engaging in dialogue I will bow out.I am curious by the intensity of feeling from the usual thumbs down brigade.
Thank you
That article is hilarious
it is actually quite normal to wear leather gloves in winter (when it is not like -30, but mild -5).. And it would be normal to drive with gloves. because you cannot touch steering wheel from more than 2 s when it is -20 and you get inside the car. also it takes few miles for ICE cars to heat up in order to become bearable.No. Why would I want my hands to slip on the steering wheel, especially when it’s cold and potentially icy?
It’s Darwin Award levels of stupid, I may as well smear my hands with oil before setting off for a drive
Indeed. I didn't say I agreed with the sentiments in that piece, in fact I found it quite ridiculous. As I find it ridiculous that a thread on the holiday update has descended into an argument about the safety of driving while wearing gloves.Thank you
Yes, I did see that article. Pretty much top if the list when you search
I didn't give it a lot of credence because it's some newspaper quoting "motoring experts". Who are they? When did they say that? What evidence is there for that statement?
I searched a bit more deeply to find if there was any evince to support that statement but couldn't find any easily. If it's there, its a bit buried
Yes, quite right!Indeed. I didn't say I agreed with the sentiments in that piece, in fact I found it quite ridiculous. As I find it ridiculous that a thread on the holiday update has descended into an argument about the safety of driving while wearing gloves.

Doing so could put you in breach of Rule 97 of the Highway Code.
The rule states that drivers must have “footwear and clothing which does not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner.”
Fair enough, I've never owned a pair of leather gloves so I don't know how good or bad the grip would be with those on.it is actually quite normal to wear leather gloves in winter
Hats! See..."Scarves, meanwhile, could impact visibility, as could hats and puffy coats, the experts warn."
Just the same as it would be when a cow drives. And as everyone knows; cows are udder lunatics on the road, especially when their hands are friesian.Fair enough, I've never owned a pair of leather gloves so I don't know how good or bad the grip would be with those on.
