Steering: what to do with thumbs?

When I steer, I sometimes use a false grip so that there's no chance of getting my thumbs caught if I have to countersteer quickly. One time I was offroading in an old Toyota, and I stubbed my thumb a bit when I hit a big rock with the left tire. The truck didn't have a steering damper, and the wheels had a large, positive scrub radius, so it really moved the wheel.
