I shuffle, its safer and generally considered proper technique. Plus it keeps your hands in the proper position to make quick corrections if needed.

Hmmm. I had to think about this...
I usually cross arms until I'm upsidedown hands at 9 and 3, then if I still need more steering input I'll switch to one hand stationary on the wheel and shuffle with the other. (picture one hand staying at 9 o'clock moving with the wheel while the other stays at 3 o'clock but doesn't move with the wheel).
That's probably horrible technique...

I shuffle. I was tought to do this when I was doing my ambulance driving course, as a method to avoid tying yourself in a knot with a hand mic cord while driving and I have been doing it ever since. Occasionally I will palm the wheel when I am in parking lots, but that is about my only bad habit...... well bad driving habit that is.

Ask 10 different instructors and you'll get 10 different answers.
Personally, I use whatever method best suits the corner/track. Most of the time locked at 9 and 3, sometimes shuffle, sometimes a modified shuffle.

I took me a while for shuffleing to become 2nd nature. Its deffinitly not something you can learn the theory behind and then immediately apply it to the track, its something you need turn into a reflex instead of something you have to think about.

any good instructor will make you unlearn that at your first event
