How much crap is on your steering wheel? What model of car is this, anyway?

Are you counting the stalks behind the wheel as on the steering wheel?

Yes, you can operate them without letting go of the steering wheel or taking your eyes off the road.

I'm definitely taking my hand off the wheel to operate things like headlights or wiper speed, which are dials on the end of a stalk. It would be really difficult not to.
