Do you wear gloves while driving your car? Note, I'm not necessarily talking about driving gloves, though those count too.

I do wear gloves. I do have driving gloves, but the gloves I normally wear are a pair of ordinary black gloves - they're much quicker to put on and take off. I wear them because many years ago I noticed I was getting moles on my right hand, which, of course, is the one most exposed to the sun when driving. I did go to the doctor because I was concerned about melanoma but he reassured me. Since I started wearing gloves, the moles have largely disappeared.
 
No reason to wear them myself. And I don't like not being able to feel the wheel on my skin. Same reason I don't like wearing sunglasses when driving. It's like a level of sensory disconnect.
 
Last winter I moaned that my steering wheel was cold in the morning, so as a funny present my GF bought me some leather driving gloves in proper old man brown. Joke was on her when I started using them properly, they really take the shock away from a cold steering wheel!

Other than in winter, they tend to stay in the glovebox (pun not intended) however.
 
I do when driving the Westfield (no windscreen, roof or heaters = chilly in the winter) but not in a normal car. Windows are UV block tinted anyway on the Lexus and Cosworth, so no need to worry about the sun.
 
Only when it's cold. Once the car warms up I get rid of them. I like to feel the steering wheel with my skin
 
I made sure to buy a decent pair of gloves in the winter which had enough grip to make them practical to wear all the time - including when driving, at least until the car warms up.

Despite my protestations to the contrary, these have now been branded as "driving gloves" by all my friends, much to their amusement and my embarrassment
