It's all about knowing your vehicle and having an idea what's actually happening with the drive train when you do something, not just that "this works sometimes when I do this, why".

Get to know your vehicle, don't do it if you are not comfortable, and if you can't do it without taking your eyes off the road, DON"T. It should be natural to you.

Every vehicle, driver and situation is different.
