So many of these things feel natural until you're quizzed on them, and then you think too much about where your hands are and what does what...
I had to get out of bad habits that I'd learned over ten years of driving for this - my instructor didn't notice, but my left hand also tends to drift off the wheel if I'm not thinking about it (when driving in Britain it would normally be going back and forward to the gearstick anyway). But here, there's no excuse for not keeping both hands on the wheel at all times - either I forced myself to glue them there during the test, or he didn't notice!
