I really don't "hold on" per se, but I am not a good passenger. I hate not being in control of the car and find myself tensing up and pushing on the floor when we come to red lights. When I was married and had to ride with my wife, it was like torture, and I was a terrible back seat driver.

^ This.
I really hate riding while someone else is driving. But I just adjust the seat to my preferred position, and latch the seatbelt very securely. Then...I don't hang onto anything. Don't need to. Once in awhile, I wince, but I try to be quiet!
In a car with a high center of gravity, like a jeep or a van, I alternate between holding the door handle and putting my elbow on the window as a brace. Sometimes it's nice to hold the above handle like you are riding the subway.
I am conducting a survey on human behaviors in the car. Please help me out by answering both questions below with your answer.

E. Another option
3. If you do hold on, when do you usually use the handle you selected?
A. The entire car ride

Thank you very much for your help in advance!
No, none of the above, and none of the above. However I do sometimes lean into curves slightly to control motion sickness, especially the way my mom's boyfriend drives. Also I briefly tilt my head back at the moment of coming to a complete stop, for the same reason.

G - When I feel the need. I do tend to hold on if I'm in the back seat and someone is riding "b!7ch".
2. If you do hold on, which of the handles do you usually hold?
A. The one above the door - In some vehicles (the Jeep Cherokee), it is comfortable to hold like riding the subway as someone mentioned.
3. If you do hold on, when do you usually use the handle you selected?
A. The entire car ride - if it's just comfortable, see comment above
B. On sharp turns - in this case I could use any handle that is available.
