you dont need to. Car controls are such where you hold the wheel with both hands at the right momenents and the shift knob to change gear for that "very short moment!"
About that extra second to avoid collision.... What exactly does putting your hand down to shift change from either braking or accelerating and streering during an incident? I feel that, if you need to shift during a turn, then do it! We dont have three arms so its impossible to shift with both hands steering but i dont think that "second to shift" is as dramatic as you say. With enough practice at using both hands you #1 cut that second down and #2 you are most alert if you need to do something (shift, steer, brake, acc, whatever).
