    As someone who has lived in a cold climate my entire life, this is asinine. If you’re bundled up like Randy from A Christmas Story, sure, but a jacket, gloves and hat don’t impare your ability to drive. I’d argue it’s safer than not having them. If I can’t feel my fingers because the steering wheel is ice cold, that’s more likely to make me a danger than gloves, ffs
