Interesting facts! Do you handle the car with the weaker hand? Or do you drive cross-handed? (As for me, I'm right-handed)

Yep, I'm left handed. I use my right hand on the numpad and the left on A-Z keys.

We don't use any of the same keys for driving. I use the arrow keys and space/enter.

A lot of new people so I ask again. Are you left handed? What keys you use to drive and shift?

I'm right handed. Arrows + A-Z.
But I'm still (after 27 years of racing games)
Terrible at shifting, so. Basically...

Just Arrow keys.

I am right handed and I used to play Stunts with the arrow keys plus Space and Enter. I did it that way until I started participating in ZakStunts. Then, I learnt that A/Z also worked. I quickly switched.

When I say I'm right handed, I mean I write with my right hand, but in reality, there are just as many things I do with each hand. Like, I open threaded capped bottles with my left hand exclusively and also, I shuffle card decks with my left hand. I can't do it the other way.

That could be "cross-dominance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-dominance)". I am in a similar situation: I write with my right hand, use the mouse with the left. I also fan out playing cards "the opposite way", which is a problem with decks that have symbols on only two corners. When I tell people I'm bothered by right-handed decks, they look at me strangely :D

Yes, that is what happens. Some things I have a preference, but I can do with the other hand, like holding a mug, for example, which I usually do with my left hand. But other things, I'm just completely useless if I try to do it with the other hand, like shuffling a car deck with my right hand or shaving with my left hand. About the car deck and the threaded caps, those are things I hadn't noticed that I was doing with "the other hand" until other people pointed it out to me.

I was fully right handed. but after a case of RSI and a deadline I learned to be more ambidextrous. I still favour right though.
I tie my shoes ambidextrous, it's faster and more secure.

is a pipsqueak.
He may not be active. But you never retire from stunts.
You two are the reason I still play. Although I didn't dare to enter into a competition I raced since 2003 on your tracks.
So, next year is my 20 year anniversary as shadow pipsqueak,   8)
