On the motorway I usually have one hand at 3 o'clock on the steering wheel. I have avoided many near misses form cars pulling into my path ect and always feel fully in control of the car.

And yes I do use my mirrors all the time. I like to know who is where around me.
All modern cars have the light/indicator controls set around the ten-to-two position which time and experience has evaluated at the best position by which to maintain proper control of said vehicle.
