You quite obviously don't drive. Most of your grip on a steering wheel or gear stick comes from your thumb, index finger and middle finger. If you're changing gears with your left hand, what are you doing with your right hand? And braking does use the legs, but you need to hold onto the wheel when you're braking harshly because road friction can change your steering if you're not holding it properly.

You're not in full control. Simple as. I don't see how anyone can argue otherwise.
