It helps with concentrating

You ever get that "I dont remember the whole ride here" feeling?

...followed by the international hand symbol to tell them what you think, to be displayed while overtaking.

One time I had a mustang pass me so fast and gave me the finger. Two miles further, the mustang broke down and there was smoke coming out of it. I gave him the finger when I passed him. One of the most memorable moments of my life.

It is because they all drive so badly!

My Dad used to say: "Let 'em by. They'll be out of your life in a second."

Because they cant HANDLE your driving?

It's the Jesus handle! Because when I and my sister learned to drive, mum and dad would grab it and shout "Jesus!" when we turned corners 😂

This is a "serious question"? It's to help people get in and out of the damned car when their back or legs can't cope with it unaided.

I actually use this to help myself get adjusted to sit upright by pulling myself up then putting rest of body back towards the seat

I thought it was for hanging the dry cleaning on

I call it an 'oh s**t!' handle

Yes, always sooo dramatic!

My wife calls it the prayer handle.

the "oh-s**t handle"

Just another place to put your hand when it's supposed to be at 10 o'clock

We call it the Jesus Handle in my family. It's the one that you grab and yell "Jesus!" when the driver whips the car around.

Why did I see an extra large finger first? XD

We call it an OH $#!+ handle. Or grandma's swing ring. She's holding on while trying to either swing her butt into the car, or swing her butt out of the car.

It's called the Jesus handle.

great answer. I think they call it the Oh Jesus handle

...AND five minutes before the turn!

I don't think 25km/h areas exist. What country?

That is the "oh s**t" handle. It is for when the car is flipping over.

Yup. Just like my bf

The OMG! bar....

It helps you to get out when you are fat, I know it. I'm fat

Maybe they mean the little rectangular piece that pops out to reveal the screw that holds the handle in place.

we call it the “oh s**t” bar/handle

In Newfoundland they call it an OhBeJesus handle.

something to hang on to if that big truck is on your side comings trait for you!

I don't need the handle to get out of the car more comfortably, but sometimes I find it relaxing to hang my arm on it when traveling as a passenger.

I have been hanging my shirts on that.

It's the "oh s**t! bar"

I've always referred to it as the oh s**t handle

We call that the "holy f**k" bar

The oh **** handle in Louisiana.

That's the "oh s**t" handle

Me to casually hold onto when my mum is doin 90 round a 'recommended 45' corner 😎

Since I am the one driving 90% of the time I use it so my driving hand has something to hold onto when I am not.

To help older people get in and out of a car

It's an anchorpoint for the nervous.

Officially known in parts of the US as the "oh-sh*t handle"!
